Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@tonyagregg @gabrielm I know this thread is over a year old by now but I just discovered it for the first time. I started having SOB about 4 months ago and haven't been able to find a solution since. My doctor looked into anxiety, asthma, and we finally settled on GERD. Unfortunately, the Omeperazole I was prescribed doesn't seem to have a meaningful impact. I have good days and I have bad days but I can't seem to shake the SOB for more than a few days at a time. It's always present to some degree even on the best of days. Have you found any success since this thread was initially posted?

@robkern3 Unfortunately we have not found a solution to the issue. Mine is also present on a daily basis to some degree. It is manageable, though, after having discovered the Buteyko breathing method of breathing exercises. I can manage it with that and light to moderate weight lifting. It doesn't bother me as much anymore, though I do have some bad days where it's a little worse, but for the most part, it's manageable.
@robkern3 Unfortunately I am still having this issue. It is always present, I am like you I have good days and bad days. November will be 2 years that I have dealt with this. Its frustrating, but I have learned to cope to some degree.

Haven’t found a solution for it yet. I Don’t have SOB all the time... for what I feel like anyways.. it’s just that one big deep breath I can’t take “sometimes” not all the time..
