Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@gabrielm @merpreb I alo can do intense exercise and feel good while doing it. It actually started when I started running and I thought I just I was deconditioned but months later I am still trying to catch a deep breath. My oxygen level is good as well as my EKG and pulmonary function test all normal! I am 43 in good heath and never have I had any heartburn or problems with reflux nor do i have allergies. I am constant yawning or trying to get that deep breth that only last for 30sec or so. I guess i wouldnt call it SOB its just that I have the need to fill my lungs up by yawning or sighing. I read about psedodyspnea and it bascially talks about anexity and reflux and again I dont have. I am happy at my place in life. I just dont understand why all of a sudden this started. Is it a neuro thing i wonder at times? I have tried breathing txs and that does nothing. I guess I can live with it but at times its annoying and I just want it to go away. I am on no meds and have a health lifestyle. I would like to keep in touch with you guys just in case there is a miracle answer. Thanks for listening

I am quite happy I came across this thread. Thought I was alone. 43 male in good health. Was shoveling snow one afternoon. Went to bed and couldn’t satisfy that last little bit of a deep breath. Maybe the last 5%. Ignored it for a few days. Eventually went to emergency a couple times at different hospitals. So far I have had. 3 EKG’s, blood work three times, X-ray twice. Ultrasound once, cardiac stress test and a pulmonary function test. Every test says I am fine. Not on any medication. Very rarely will have a beer. Never done drugs. Regular breathing is fine. I walk and jog daily. Combination being more then 10km a day. No issues when exercising. Gets worse when I start thinking about it. Find myself taking deep breaths for no reason other than to test it. I feel
Like there has to be a physical issue….. which eventually leads to an anxiety issue making it worse. Trying to see a ENT doctor. Incredibly frustrated. Any of you whom have commented above have any resolution or miracle diagnosis?
