Even if there is no cure/treatment, it would still be helpful to put a name to what you have!! Geez, that's frustrating.

@tamaracaitlin- Good morning. There is a name, it's called Shortness of Breath or Dyspnea which is the scientific name. There are a ton of names and symptoms and causes. My pulmonologist earlier this year said that the main cause for it now is obesity. I've mentioned this before but if I gain 5+ pounds it affects my breathing.

Here is some more information that you might find interesting.

You don't mention when this started for you. Have you tried the buteyko method?
