Oh and thank you Gabe for starting this thread. I was searching for answers for a bit now. You kind of think it’s not normal so you don’t even talk a bout it. I will keep people updated as I said in my previous post. The more I think about the issues the more I take deep breaths and think about it. I think for people in the non related health issues the mental is a huge part of it. I wish everybody with this or any other health issues they may have, my hope for you all to be healthy and live long lives.

Doctors told me it was gerd related for me but I went on acid reducers and nothing changed. And I’m not sure about gerd shortness of breath but my shortness of breath had no rhyme or reason, wasn’t periodic around when I had eaten or something but I’m not sure.

Look I’ve helped a good few people, no one believed it was anxiety. But once I recovered from this, I could see for the years building up to SOB, I had an unhealthy relationship with my thoughts and feelings. Always tried to use logic to disregard a fearful thought among other things.

Again I didn’t think it was anxiety. I had no fear beside the sob, I remember the day I felt it being a normal day but I started feeling this. It sounds crazy but I’m glad I went through this. It wasted three years of my youth I know. But now I’ve a much better acceptance of life. I can take the good with the bad. I can walk through fire, I can out work anyone. I live fully again.

Just get everything ruled out till your doctor thinks it’s anxiety then read my other posts on here. That’s what I recommend but I’m no doctor or therapist
