Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hello! I have been experiencing these same symptoms for the past 3 years. I have been to a doctor twice and have been prescribed allergy medication and an inhaler, both of which did not work. I am able to exercise completely fine, and it has been more of an annoyance than anything. Still, I would love to not be taking deep breaths constantly or trying to yawn without success. Wondering if you have found any answers over the last two years? Thanks!

Hi @rosey5713. I have not found answers in the sense that it's completely gone, but I have been able to manage the condition through breathing exercises and moderate physical exercise. So it's an annoyance at this point, but manageable.
@rosey5713- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Connect. My apologies for not welcoming you sooner. This mysterious shortness of breath has so many of us stumbling and bumbling along until we wind up exhausted from visiting doctors, having tests, sleepless nights, and worrying if breathing will just stop one day. I encourage you to read as many posts as you can to see if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms with your activity level. There is something that is called Exercise-induced SOB and exercise-induced asthma.

Has your doctor mentioned having asthma when he/she prescribed inhalers? Have you had a lung function test?
