Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

My dr. says it’s anxiety. When my dr. put me on Zoloft, it went away completely. However, over a period of many years the sob would show back up so my dr. just increased the dosage and that would help. The sob came back again and my dr. decided to add klonopin. It has really helped. Still get sob some but it has significantly improved. Hope you find help as I know how awful this sob can be.

Glad medication worked for you too. Mine was anxiety also but I didn’t use medication. If you ever feel it ( as you say sometimes) what worked for me and many is just show it no importance at all. Be indifferent to it. Refocus on your day. Like I went from not being able to leave my house for half a year to living 100 symptom free. It’s just total acceptance. Grab the feeling by the hand and live every day looking out and forward rather than back and inward. Doesn’t mean you should try distract yourself so you don’t feel it. You live your day to the fullest with or without the symptom. This is just what I did, I’m no therapist.
Good luck, thank you for sharing.
