Hi @rosemarya I am the same with hills and exercise, with feeling short of breath and am also being treated for very mild asthma and allergies, however I also feel that anxiety and gerd make me more breathless also.I feel my asthma is bought on by anxiety and exertion and cold temps etc.Kathryn has talked of reactive airways. Thanks for your post it sounds so similar to me. I have been like this for a few years now and nothing has got worse, just stays the same.

Hi @heathert, I can honestly say that I know how you feel. I wish you the best. And I am going to keep in mind @katemn's suggestion about the sputum test in case my progress slows. Rosemary

@heathert I don't know if asthma is treated differently than exercise induced asthma, might that be a consideration? Rosemary

Thanks@katemn.

Thanks @rosemarya.

I assume you have had extensive blood work done. I was diagnosed about a year ago with pulmonary fibrosis, but during the workup for that disease, it was discovered that I also have mild Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), which can cause shortness of breath.
