Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Wow I am just reading this after googling my symptoms for over a year! I have exactly every Thing that you mentioned- I had all the blood work you can imagine, lung xrays, breathing tests, heart test, saw and ENT who said I had mild throat irritation from possible acid reflux... the SOB comes in waves. My bilirubin was high as well and my doctor said I have Gilbert’s disease but then other tests showed normal bilirubin levels - it’s so confusing not truly knowing what happens because it becomes so uncomfortable, I get irritable around people as I’m trying to gather myself to catch my breath and it’s not until I sigh or get a deep yawn that it goes away, only to come back. I’m not sure if it’s good allergies, caffeine reaction, environmental.... I haven’t had allergies tested but once this covid 19 is over with I’d like to check off the rest of “possibles” off my list...

@kmontene- Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found us! It sounds like a situation that would drive me to be scared and very frustrated too. You don't mention if you have seen a GI doctor for medications for GERD or if you exercise a lot. Do you have any other symptoms other than shortness of breath?

I encourage you to read as many posts as you can in this discussion. So many people have helped with sharing their stories.

Is it possible that you might have changed your diet in any way?
