Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@palmtrez123 - One of my worst fears was having a bronchoscopy. Thankfully my GI guy puts me out for a bit. My husband does it without anything. Here is some information about it: I do know that a lot of people gag at the beginning and then again at the end.

When I have an operation or procedure and I have to have anesthesia there is often a Bronchoscopy done. And yes, I often have a sore throat after. But since I've never had one awake I will leave it to those who have.
@gabrielm;@greff;@helpnywhereucan;@helena4000;@jenniferhunte: Have any of you had a Bronchoscopy awake? How was it for you?

I'm not sure what it's called but I had the one where they go up your nose and down your throat done a couple times. Sucks but really isn't a big deal. Breathing and remaining calm got me through it. It's uncomfortable but I don't recall there being a lot of pain. They numbed my throat and nose with a topical and got busy. Come to think of it, that was the worst part.
