Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I have been experiencing the same exact struggle for oxygen for about 6 months now. It’s driving me crazy and I can’t deal with it for much longer. I ended up in the ER last week because I felt like I was ready to pass out. The pulmonologist ran tests and everything was normal. Ekg is normal. I even had a chest X-ray and nothing abnormal. Blood tests just reveal high cholesterol so now I’m thinking it’s my heart but why would that cause such shortness of breath? I’m yawning all the time to try and satisfy this hunger for air because normal breaths aren’t working. I wish I had the cure. I’ll start taking iron supplements and fish oil. I will even take B12. I’m so desperate for answers because this feels so debilitating

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I'm finally free...well...I had a mild episode of less than a minute a few days ago. I was able to 'cure' mine by going the nutrition route. I have lots of posts on this thread if you are interested. My SOB was related to acidity, electrolytes, dehydration etc. I am following a plant based diet, drinking lots of water with bicarbonates (Evian-pricey). I panicked when it happened a few days ago. It had been a while since it happened and I thought...here we go...and then it was gone. I hadn't had my 64 ounces of water for several days in a row so I'm sure there was a connection and I had been busy and gotten a little lax with my diet and routine.
