Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi Gabe,
I have now been doing Buteyko for a little over a month and my control pause is stable at 45-50 seconds, and there are times when it can be 50+. Unfortunately, the SOB remains. For how long did you practise Buteyko before you felt some change or improvement?
Having recently seen an ENT and been cleared, there is literally nowhere else to look for physical issues which means this must be mental / emotional. Whilst that's a relief, this SOB is still hugely frustrating and at time debilitating.

This was literally me, Marcus private message me I’ll give you a contact detail so you can ask questions as much as you need about the road to recovery cause it’s not instant

Hi @marcusurypko,
Have you experienced any relief at all? It took a couple of weeks to notice improvement and the issue really diminished a few weeks after that.
How many times a day are you doing exercises? When I was in the middle of it, I was doing three sessions a day and tapered off as I improved. I also did physical exercises (weightlifting) with mild to moderate intensity using nasal breathing which also helped improve my breathing greatly. Are you incorporating physical exericse?
