Dyspnea (R06. 00) is a finding by physician on physical exam.
Dyspnea is the medical term for shortness of breath, sometimes described as “air hunger.” It is an uncomfortable feeling. Shortness of breath can range from mild and temporary to serious and long-lasting. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose and treat dyspnea because there can be many different causes.
Dyspnea is also the uncomfortable sensation of breathing. Normally, our bodies will regulate the act of breathing without even having to think about it. You may experience dyspnea at rest, or on exertion (when you perform any activity no matter how small), if you have certain conditions.
