是的,这可能是COVID-19的迹象……但这也是焦虑的症状。

干咳发烧,疲劳——到目前为止,大多数人都听说过这是COVID-19最常见的症状,这种疾病是由新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)。在大多数情况下,这些症状是不言自明的。但是另一种常见的症状——呼吸短促——已经引起了很多问题,包括这种感觉是什么感觉,什么时候需要打电话给你的医生(或去急诊室)。

从本质上讲,呼吸短促——也就是呼吸困难或呼吸困难——是“一组主观感觉,表明我们的呼吸系统功能不好,”Subinoy Das,医学博士Tivic Health Inc .的首席医疗官说健康.他说,这些感觉通常感觉呼吸的工作量或力度增加,胸闷,空气饥渴或“没有获得足够的氧气的感觉”。

据英国《卫报》报道,造成气短的原因有很多美国肺协会(ALA)——最不严重的包括剧烈运动、极端温度或高海拔。甚至焦虑,我们现在有哪些感受——有时会导致呼吸困难。然而,有时呼吸短促可能是哮喘等更严重疾病的信号,心脏病,或慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)。在某些情况下,当呼吸急促出现时,它可能是紧急情况的信号,比如一氧化碳中毒、肺炎或心脏病发作。

达斯博士说,当涉及到COVID-19时,呼吸短促被认为是由于肺炎的发展,肺炎是一种与冠状病毒感染有关的肺部炎症。他补充说,在这种情况下,由于病毒攻击,肺部的氧气无法进入血液,就会出现呼吸短促。的美国胸科医师学会与此相呼应的是,当血液中的二氧化碳水平上升时,一个人的呼吸频率会增加,这会导致呼吸困难的感觉。根据ACCP的说法,感染引起的血液中过多的酸也会导致呼吸困难的感觉。

达斯医生说,对于一些确诊为COVID-19的人来说,呼吸短促是一种更严重的症状,可以在医院通过补充氧气进行治疗。额外的氧气有助于增加病人血液中的氧气量。达斯医生补充说:“在极少数情况下,需要通过机械呼吸机加压氧气,迫使氧气通过严重发炎的肺部进入血液。”

The virus that causes COVID-19 is called SARS-CoV-2, short for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It is a type of coronavirus similar to the one that causes SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome.

总的来说,如果你担心自己呼吸短促可能与COVID-19有关,首先要做的是试着冷静下来(说起来容易做起来难)——这是因为,呼吸短促是焦虑的常见症状。在那一刻,考虑一下你的身体感觉和整体外观:焦虑也会使你的心跳加快,手心出汗,瞳孔扩大。

如果你在那之后仍然担心可能感染冠状病毒——你有冠状病毒常见的其他症状,比如干咳、发烧和疲劳——给你的医生打电话;然后他们可以帮助你确定你是否有资格COVID-19测试.但是,如果你的气短是严重的,并伴有其他症状,如胸痛,头晕,嘴唇变蓝,最好尽快就医。
