Definition: Eschaunge is a German word that translates to "choking" in English. It's an involuntary movement of the chest, typically caused by something as simple as inhaling too much air or choking on it. In this context, it could be used to describe a person who is struggling to breathe due to the constriction of their lungs from inhaling too much air. This can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
