Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

That link made me have worse SOB. Js
It’s a list of the worst things in the world that can happen or be the cause. Which I’m sure everyone here at some point seen before and doesn’t want to go back to that page again.
The 5lbs over thing was very interesting though. Because at 173 I didn’t have any where near the problem I have now, but at 180 I can’t breath every day all day and just want to sleep because it’s the only time I’m ok..
And my business life requires me to be awake so that give me more anxiety and more sob.
If I had a magic genie and 3 wishes all
If then would be to be able to breath normal

@dantona1977- Welcome to Mayo Connect. Please don't take my 5 lbs to the bank as a norm. I was giving it as an example of how weight affects my breathing. It might not be the same for you. I was mentioning it because I asked my pulmonologist what the main cause of SOB was in his opinion and he said obesity. He also suggested life changes (exercise, and better, cleaner eating). SOB oftentimes isn't caused by the worst-case scenario. But they are certainly something to tweak your mind and question if you have symptoms that should be investigated thoroughly. I'm sorry that the link made you feel worse. I try and give as much information that could possibly help us understand more or lead to better self-care. Does this make sense?
