Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

If you have dry nose, that is definitely a culprit. I am not a doctor, but I have had issues with SOB too. I read about ayurveda (and also I am an Indian(from India)) and used ghee(which is called clarified butter, but I don't know if I can rely on US produce) in my two nostrils. Usually, people use Nasya Oil, but I just applied ghee to my little finger and rubbed inside my two nostrils. You will see mucous being produced in a very few minutes after application(nothing to panic about). If your SOB gets fine after that, then it is all about just a dry nose and lack of mucous in your membranes. Try it, it doesn't harm you at all, because it is all natural.
You can get ghee in any indian stores, go for a high quality organic cow ghee.

@saigurucharan - By culprit do you mean a cause for SOB? Dry nose usually indicates a lack of mucus in the nasal cavities. It is usually an excess amount of mucus that can cause problems. There many number of things that can dry nasal passages.

USA products are excellent. I would hesitate to put ghee in my nose. Gels and sprays are balanced with enough sodium to help nasal passages to achieve a homeostasis. I've been using them for years. Can you even get them in India?

For SOB, all you have to do is, stop stressing about it, stop thinking so much, relax and tell to yourself that you aren't going to die and focus on different things. Because, stress makes it worse and causes other side-effects like acidity, burps etc, which makes us think more about our self-induced gastritis.
