"Shortness of breath is also common, because people with Babesia don’t regulate their oxygen-saturation flow properly due to problems in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Such people feel a sense of “air hunger” because the ANS isn’t dilating their bronchial tubes or opening their diaphragm properly, because these parts of their body are not getting the signal to do so from the command center in brain."
"Even after making a deliberate attempt to take the deepest breath possible, air hunger can leave a person, dealing with babesia, completely unsatisfied with their oxygen intake. Many describe the symptom as "an elephant sitting on my chest" or just not getting that satisfying feeling after taking a breath. But the body needs oxygen, and it will make every effort to get it - yawns may excessively present themselves. You may just need to standstill for a second to get that satisfying breath and/or refrain from activities that require excessive oxygen intake in the meantime."
"Most really have no idea what it actually means. Literally, it means to be hungry for air. But how is that related to Babesia, and what does the symptom actually entail?"
"Though both illnesses affect oxygenation—COVID-19 is a respiratory illness, and babesia is a parasite that depletes oxygen from red blood cells—the air hunger caused by each is actually quite different."
