What I do:
1. Practice slow deep breathing. Slowly fill your diaphragm and then lungs via your nose, exhale slowly via your mouth. At the same time, visualize your lungs renewing themselves, the 3 lobes of the right lung, the 2 lobes of the left lung.
2. Cut down on carbs (bread, rice, pasta, pastries, etc.) Carbohydrates metabolize into carbon dioxide which can severely inhibit normal breathing.
3. Drink organic tart cherry juice, 4 oz. at breakfast, 4 oz. later in the day or after exercise. Be sure it doesn’t interfere with your meds.
4. Inhale aroma of thyme leaves before walking or exercising and as needed.
5. Sleep with your head elevated.
6. Wear N95 mask during high pollen season. Milwaukee brand N95 is great.
7. Drink plenty of filtered water.
8. I start the day with magnesium glycinate, 29% of the RDA, Pure is the brand I use.
9. Avoid inhaling cleaning agent aromas, especially those containing chlorine. Also avoid chemicals in general, especially carbon monoxide and gas/methane fumes when at the gas station. Wear the N95 mask if you must be near/use harmful inhalants.
10. Inhale saline solution after being in close proximity to others.
11. Have 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of honey if you feel throat congestion.
12. Well-wish for others in need, at bedtime.
I have had no problems since being on this program. We are all different, so I hope this helps you and others.

@narelled23 i have seen just about every specialist there is. everything checks out o.k. after literally hundreds of hours using multiple paid versions of AI engines and numerous test and conversations with three different neurologist---my diagnosis is that my sighing dyspnea symptoms are primarily driven by some level and type of dysautonomia effecting the balance between my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. why this condition develops ( very complex issue that i wont go into here ) is probably unknowable, but although uncommon it is not rare----especially as you get older. knowing this is the root cause of my symptoms does help me deal with it. while i do have a couple of meds i take to deal with the symptoms when they keep me from sleeping----the primary approach to lessen the impact of this so called "sighing dyspnea" is the following: 1. through your docs and your own research develop an understanding of what is causing and driving your sighing dyspnea. 2. through the above will greatly help you in the most important step of all----habituation----learning how to deal with the symptoms both emotionally and physically.-----hoping that it will at some point resolve itself----which can and does happen. 3. adopt and maintain good/excellent health habits---sleep, eating and physical exercise.---if it is unclear about what constitutes the above, do some reading----the latest on these three key heath items is everywhere. 4. although this area is a little less scientifically understood---seek to build and strengthen the balance between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system with a special attention to you vagus nerve. a complex area which may be very individualized----so reading and learning as much as you can about the latest medial/clinical information on this topic can be very helpful. hope this helps. for those who are able to find a more physiological fix their dyspnea----you are the luck ones
