Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hey @waresave - I'm sorry that you're going through this. I know exactly how you feel! I understand feeling hopeless about it since it's very unpleasant and mysterious. Hang in there- I know it's tough, but you WILL get better! Even if not all the way, you just have to keep trying different things and there will be something that will help. For me, it was the Buteyko breathing method. It took away the air hunger for a good while, but it came back, and I applied the method again and it helped a great deal. Mine isn't all the way gone, but doing breathing exercises and daily moderate exercise keeps it tolerable and manageable.

Thanks for the response Gabriel! I looked into the Buteyko breathing method today and I’m going to give it a try. How long did you do it before you noticed improvement?
Air hunger is a perfect way to describe it. It’s so strange hearing others who have the same problem, everyone I had tried talking to about it looked at me like I was crazy. It makes me feel better in a way knowing that other people have this problem.
I wonder if we will always have this issue.
