Additional field(s): Medical: Health Care
English term or phrase: dyspnea
Definition from Mayo Clinic:
Shortness of breath — known medically as dyspnea — is often described as an intense tightening in the chest, air hunger, difficulty breathing, breathlessness or a feeling of suffocation. Very strenuous exercise, extreme temperatures, obesity and higher altitude all can cause shortness of breath in a healthy person. Outside of these examples, shortness of breath is likely a sign of a medical problem.

Example sentence(s):
  • Timing of dyspnea may be one of the most important hallmarks of COVID-19 coronavirus infection, especially for clinicians seeing patients in an ambulatory setting, experts argued. MedPage Today
  • Admission to the intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation should be considered in patients with dyspnea and diffuse radiological findings. National Center for Biotechnology Info.
  • Intensive care and airway management are indicated for patients displaying signs of respiratory failure (e.g., dyspnea with hypoxemia, respiratory rate > 30/min). AMBOSS

Example sentence(s):
  • 次のいずれかの症状がある場合は、「帰国者・接触者相談センター」にご相談ください。 （１）風邪の症状や37.5℃以上の発熱が２日程度続いている。 （２）強いだるさ（倦怠感）や息苦しさ（呼吸困難）がある。 - 厚生労働省  
  • 呼吸は普段無意識のうちに行われていますが、酸素不足になると、呼吸に努力が必要になるようになります。これが呼吸困難で、少し時間的に短くやや軽めの状態を息苦しさということもあります。食物や薬のアレルギーによって引き起こされたり、精神的なストレスによって起こることもあります。 - タケダ健康サイト  
  • 新型コロナ肺炎においては、間質に集まった血液細胞から出たサイトカインによって血管の細胞が傷つき、毛細血管漏出が起こることにより肺胞内に水分が漏れ出てしまう。その結果、肺胞と毛細血管とのガス交換ができなくなっていると考えられる。急激な呼吸困難の発症や、高齢者に多くみられることも、こう考えれば説明がつく。 - 朝日新聞
