6 Health Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

3. Shortness of Breath

You might experience shortness of breath in several situations, including stressful times, high altitudes, extreme temperatures, strenuous physical activity, or even if someone gives you a scare. But when it occurs suddenly with seemingly no explanation, you might have reason to be concerned.

Such situations could be caused from medical conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism), or panic attack. Consult a doctor as soon as you can, because as you know, breathing is necessary to being alive.
