What is air hunger? Part 1 #shorts

Let's talk about air hunger. Have you ever had that feeling like you can't get enough oxygen, you don't have asthma, and it's not as though you can't actually breathe or get a breath in. You just feel like you're not getting enough oxygen? That's called air hunger and we're going to talk about that today, including what might be causing it and what you can do about it. Hi, I'm Dr. Nicole Cain and my passion is to help you become your own mental health expert using holistic and natural remedies. And today we're going to be talking all about air hunger. According to a 2021 article in Comprehensive Physiology, air hunger is simply the sensation of an urge to breathe. The trouble arises though, when you breathe, but you feel like you're not getting a satisfying oxygenated breath. We see this symptom medically in cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases. But what if you've seen the doctors and they all tell you that everything is healthy and normal? Then what do you do? The research gives us a little bit of information about this. Air hunger activates a part of the brain called the insular cortex. This part of the brain is involved in regulating our perceptions of oxygenation. A common cause is when we over breathe and we exhale out our carbon dioxide, which makes us a little bit acidotic. I'll be continuing this in my next video.
