Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@helena4000- Good morning. Bronchospasms are scary and awful. I had a bad one trying to get off a very crowded plane. I thought that a lung had collapsed. I couldn't breathe. I had to stop, hold up traffic and take slow breaths. No one was happy getting off the plane. Advair and rescue inhalers are great in helping with breathing constrictions. Have viral infections been ruled out as a cause of your Pericarditis? What other treatments have you had?

That's the worst part, when I get these bronchospasms it's like I can't get a deep breath down. The Advair has made them MUCH more manageable so I can actually function. It's awful not being able to take a complete breath. Never had this stuff before the heart issue.
I was tested for everything, and nada. They think a virus got into my heart and caused inflammation. They also found heart scarring that they thought looked like myocarditis.... I feel like the doctors ultimately looked at me and shrugged. But at least I can function now. I get heart flutters which worries me a bit. I've had a little bit of trouble paying off my medical bills so I'm trying to avoid the cardiologist until I can.
