What is a common symptom of pneumonia?

  1. Dyspnea

  2. Abdominal pain

  3. Chest tightness

  4. Headache

The correct answer is: Dyspnea

Dyspnea, or difficulty breathing, is a common symptom of pneumonia due to the infection and inflammation of the lung tissue, which can lead to impaired gas exchange and reduced lung capacity. As the lungs become filled with fluid or pus, the body's oxygen intake is compromised, prompting a feeling of breathlessness. Patients may experience increased respiratory effort and may present with rapid breathing as the body attempts to compensate for decreased oxygen levels. Other symptoms associated with pneumonia may include a cough, fever, and chest discomfort, but dyspnea is particularly significant as it directly relates to the functional impairment of the respiratory system caused by the infection.
