Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I’m just checking in. Going on 19 months now but better now that i’m used to it than when it started. Same symptoms as everyone above of course. mine seems to come on worse when having a cold or getting sick. Good news is my sleep isn’t impacted and my asthma is almost nonexistent probably due to how many deep breaths I take. I’ll keep praying someone eventually finds a cure. my biggest concern is i’m only 42, does this get worse as you get older?

Hi @jasullivan3, for what it's worth, it hasn't gotten worse for me. It was bad when it first started then got better than worse for a while and has since leveled out to just being mild and manageable. I hope it's at least the same for you, but ultimately I hope it goes away completely for you!

The fact that it seems to get worse in certain situations like when you're sick, then improves when you're not sick probably bodes well for you since that means there's at least some connection to sickness and also that it your body has the ability to improve.

Since you have asthma, wonder if your symptoms are related to that. Have you been managing your asthma symptoms?
