Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I have the same issue. I cannot afford health insurance so I do not have check up done since 2015 (I can't get affordable insurance with my Visa status). Before that I was in India and none of the tests reveled anything. Big gulp of inhalation helps and even then it feels something stuck in thoracic area which is very uncomfortable and this feeling is every time I inhale. What do you recommend? B12 and iron supplement?

Hi @a123456789 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! That does sound like a very uncomfortable feeling - have you considered trying the Buteyko breathing method? Even though it doesn’t get to the root of the problem, it seems to have helped some members with their symptoms.
