Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Oh god! It's truly such a frustrating feeling, especially being constantly told 'there's no abnormalities with your lungs, kidneys, oxygen levels, heartbeat, no infection in the blood.' I do have abdominal pain somewhat too, so I'm currently on medication for GERD. And I was REALLY optimistic that it was getting resolved, but after the initial improvement with the medication - it's deteriorated again.

Do you guys have any other issues besides shortness of breath? Like I've chest pain and sometimes I feel dizziness and exhausted.

I feel like I have read a few different comments about that happening (doctor prescribes meds for different things and the sob seems to resolve and then comes back) that would be terribly frustrating, you think it's gone and then it comes back.
When my sob first started, the only way I would get a good breath is through yawning. That went on for a couple weeks. My jaw was so sore. Eventually, that went away, I was able to get a deep breath by just taking a deep breath, again the breath wouldn't always "catch" and I would have to take a few deep breaths, but at least I wasn't yawning constantly. Now I feel I go back and forth, sometimes I only get it went I yawn, sometimes I can get away with just taking deep breaths.
It's crazy that we all have this bizzare sob but noone has any answers for us.
I'm surprised at how.many people on here have been referred to or have gone and seen a gastro specialist. I would not in a million years have thought my sob could be related to gastro issues and I'm surprised my doctor hasn't went that route yet. He's still looking at my lungs.
