Suara.com – From the beginning Covid-19 known as a respiratory disease. Those who are infected often experience respiratory problems that make it difficult to breathe. It is also not uncommon to feel suffocated.
How a person gets symptoms depends largely on how the virus starts infecting your vital organs. Hard to breathe, for example, is a sensation that is difficult to find if there is inflammation and impaired lung function.
Because the virus that causes Covid-19 attacks the tissues and lining of the lungs, the virus also spreads rapidly and damages the airways. The immune system due to viral attacks also releases cells that spread along with inflammation, making it difficult for you to breathe.
Shortness of breath can also interfere with the function of the lungs in transporting essential nutrients, fluids and most importantly, oxygen supply and cause a buildup of toxins which can bring additional complications. Lack of oxygen flow also causes saturation and can affect blood flow as well.

All of these factors combine to have difficulty breathing and cause other respiratory symptoms.
Again, shortness of breath is a sign of the severity of Covid-19 and can be a quick indicator of a mild Covid-19 case turning bad.
Although mostly caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus which attacks the lungs and chest area, people suffering from several conditions are more susceptible to these dreaded consequences.
A high BMI level and obesity, for example, can put extra strain on the chest and lungs and put more stress on the muscles that are responsible for carrying out respiratory functions. In Covid-19, high levels of inflammation and cytokines can also cause problems.
People who suffer from chronic respiratory problems, or lung infections are also at twice the risk. Some respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, COPD can cause a lot of irritation, which makes the airways congested and causes difficulty breathing.
