Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Well, I definitely feel when I can't breathe it's pretty scary, and it creates a ton of anxiety. But because this started all of a sudden and I never have had these symptoms before, I don't think I've developed an overall health anxiety. Like you have every right to be anxious about what's going on, because right now you have no idea what's going on. All you get are answers that don't quite explain things, and because of that they can't treat the cause of the SOB.
I have not been exercising as before because with pericarditis and myocarditis they just tell you to rest, so my activity level is really low right now.
Your pain is all on the left side? Tricuspid and bicuspid valve leakage issues can cause shortness of breath because your heart's not functioning that great, but the doctors have to do a cardiac stress MRI to see that stuff. One thing I did find out is that my mom has valve leaks that are highly hereditary. Did either of your parents have any valve issues?

I am not 100% sure on what silent reflux is but i changed my diet to cut out all gluten and wheat, that reallu helped subside pains i was getting in chest which would move. The anxiety is normal because who can handle all the unanswered questions u might have had and all the physical feelings. All i know was i was very much in the dark and always got told im anxious this seems to ne the answer from doctors these days. But changing my eating habits and taking it in my own hands i can tell u the anxiety was caused by no answers
