Shortness of Breath at High Altitude The Qur’an Said It First!

Ever felt breathless when climbing a mountain or flying high? The Qur’an mentioned this exact experience over 1400 years ago in Surah Al-An’am (6:125): “...his chest becomes tight and constricted as if he were climbing into the sky.” Today, science confirms that oxygen levels decrease with altitude, causing tightness in the chest — known as hypoxia. But how could a man in the 7th century describe this physiological effect without ever experiencing high altitudes or modern instruments? Because the Qur’an is not just a book of faith — it’s a book of truth and science. 👉 Follow ExplorewithXsamba to uncover more Qur’anic verses that align with modern scientific discoveries. 💬 Like, Share & Comment: Did the Qur’an really describe altitude sickness before science?
