Hi @loumary, I am still posting indeed! I do still experience air hunger but it's manageable. I've been able to manage symptoms using a variety of strategies, summarized in this post; https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/living-with-mysterious-air-hunger-my-journey-and-tips-for-managing/
Feel free to take a read and let me know if you have any questions.
How long have you been dealing with your air hunger?

I’ve had it once or twice a year since 2018. Have had it ongoing now since December 1, 2024. Usually it lasts one or two months, but it’s not going away. I’ve recently had a chest CT and a pulmonary function test which were all okay. I’m also scheduled for an asthma test in a few weeks. I know you mentioned the breathing method. I’ll look at your strategies again. Your post was very informative and it’s good to know other people experience this. I sometimes think I may have anxiety or it’s caused by one of the two medications I’m on for high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
