EN: to cause shortness of breath; to be breathless
That feeling when you climb three flights of stairs to the MRT station, only to see the train leaving. O kaya 'yung kakatakbo mo para habulin ang jeep. It's also the physical reaction to seeing your crush, or seeing your credit card bill. "Bes, nakakahingal!" can mean you're physically tired or emotionally overwhelmed.
Can be used literally for physical exertion or figuratively for something overwhelming.
