Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I have been actively seeking care for about 6 months. Most doctors I have seen just change the subject and avoid discussing tracheobronchomalacia. Maybe this is due to not being familiar with condition. Only my primary physician has tried to help. I’ve had other medical complications during this period. Most possible causes of the sudden onset of my current breathing difficulties have been ruled out.

Unfortunately many doctors avoid discussing things that may be out of their realm. In those cases, we sometimes have to be our own advocates. That's good that your primary doctor has tried to help. It definitely helps to have someone who will listen and direct you in the right direction. Have you looked into breathing remedies, like breathing exercises or meditation?
