Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Allison hello. I have been going through the exact same thing as you. I as well lived a healthy lifestyle and stopped smoking and a few weeks later woke up with the feeling of air hunger. I have seen many specialists as did you. I was told by many of them they don’t think it’s anxiety but they could find nothing wrong. I am very discouraged. I feel like my life has no joy anymore. It’s all suffering. I have been dealing with this for over a year. That being said I am going to the Mayo Clinic in May and hoping to find answers. Good luck to you and if anything get resolved I will share for sure

@laurasue Definitely share the Mayo Clinic's findings. Another option, which I haven't pulled the trigger on yet, is https://www.crowdmed.com/, where a group of specialists work on your case when you submit it and provide a report on what they link is the likely cause. I will probably submit my case soon, but wanted to mention it as an option if the Mayo Clinic turns up short.

Please let us know what the specialists say about your symptoms. I've been going through pleurisy with associated pericarditis, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, having issues with my breathing and taking a deep breath is difficult. It's awful. I'm sorry you are going through it. Do you think your breathing issues could be due to a raised hemidiaphragm?
