What if we are looking at SOB in the wrong way? What if it's not one thing that is causing your SOB but many or two or maybe it's being caused by something that hasn't been discovered yet? There are a lot of common symptoms with SOB as testimonies in this discussion show. And unfortunately we, as patients of some sort or another don't always connect things that may need to be connected like being overweight and SOB, an unusual structure in your chest, or unusual disease. What if we don't remember all of the exercises that we did and that something different showed up weeks later like exercise-induced asthma.
I don't know everything that causes my SOB because I'm stage 4 lung cancer, PTSD, COPD emphysema, chemo damage, and radiation damage, the list goes on and on. What if it's pressure from something inside of me is causing it and scans or X-rays don't pick it up?
We have learned a lot from COVID-19 and that there are connections in our bodies that we have never seen before, a climate that warms the earth and allows for living small things to move into new neighborhoods, strong winds that blow new air into our neighborhood that you aren't aware of, new pollutions caused by new chemicals that aren't being regulated.
If you have one major underlying condition, illness, disease, or cancer, and some minor things come up, like a cold. Maybe it changes your chemistry enough to cause a reaction, like SOB?
So thinking along these lines can you see any possibilites that it might be causing your SOB?
