Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Let me know please if you ever have a break through I’ve been living with this for 7 years straight and I don’t want to deal with this for the rest of my life. Frustrating isn’t the right word, it’s much more than that. Honestly makes really angry that no one can help me...

Only thing that has helped me is Advair and emergency inhalers. I get bronchospasms apparently. But I don't have asthma. This has been going on since I was diagnosed with pericarditis in February, 2019. I never had these types of breathing problems at any time in my life.

@jwiegers17- I certainly can understand your anger. It also sounds as if you have lost hope. This is the worst feeling. It always makes me feel crazy and out of touch. It's really an overwhelming feeling. As you can see in all of these threads, it's not unusual to spend years finding a solution to SOB. You mentioned a couple of posts ago that you hadn't given your inhaler a chance to work. Inhalers take time to work. They aren't miracle drugs. There are some new inhalers out there that are very very good. You also mentioned that you were going to get a referral to a couple of people and a chiropractor. Have you met any of them? Is your weight as low as it could be? Have you looked into exercise-induced asthma and been tested for it?
