Dyspnea Causes & Treatments

Allergies

Allergens and pollutants could irritate both your lungs and throat, causing these parts to restrict. This would eventually lead to shortness of breath and a lack of oxygen in the body. Therefore, it is important to reduce your direct exposure to these components, which can make your breathing activities much easier. Some common products to avoid in your home include perfumes, cosmetics, hair products, cleaning products, and other items with harsh, harmful chemicals. All of these products would irritate the airways and increase the risk of dyspnea. [3]
