Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@nycmom Back when the SOB first started back on 2012, I also did the best I could to resist taking a deep breath. This, combined with breathing exercises and only breathing through my nose, made the SOB go away for a good year. But for whatever reason it came back. So I think CO2 levels has something to do with it and for whatever reason, breathing gets out of sorts. Mine has been present consistently for a couple of years, but this time it persists no matter what I do, though I have been able to manage it to a tolerable level using breathing exercises. But I'm going to try to resist taking a deep breath as much as I can and maybe over time I'll get out of the habit of taking deep breaths even when I don't really need to.

@gabrielm -thanks for your feedback. Do you feel that there is ever any chest tightness when you have episodes? Were you able to exercise through it? If anything, exercise makes mine better. I'm not sure if that is a good sign or not.
