Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I am so happy I came across this post. I've had the same issues since July 2018. I'm a healthy, 23 year old and have never had problems like this in my life. I got married back in July, went on my honeymoon to the Bahamas, and when I came back home, I experienced shortness of breath and have ever since. Some days it's better than others, but it's always there. It almost feels uncomfortable to breathe deep. I've been to so many doctors appointments. My blood work is perfect and my lung/heart tests came back good. I even had my gallbladder checked and it's good. This is so frustrating and I hope we can all work together to find an answer!

Did you find any answers?
Go see a lymes disease dr. I can almost guarantee that's what it is. I've recently just been diagnosed. Been severely struggling for 2 years.

Thanks for posting. I’m in a similar situation. I’m 55, in good health with stress levels no different than it’s been for the last 10 years. In December I caught a cold, used nasal spray and I’ve had this issue now for 3 months. It started in the middle of the night I thought from the nasal spray. I stopped taking it immediately. I’m recovered from my cold, chest x Ray, stress test and pulmonary exam all normal. Doctor says it’s anxiety. There has to be an underlying cause. I breath fine until I start paying attention to my breathing. It seems like I can’t take a deep breath. Full exhale helps me get back to normal breathing. There has to be a reason this is happening.
