Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I think it took about a month to really feel like things were on track. But little signs of improvement started popping up that very first week. Most of the MCAS info I started with, including medications and dosages, I found here at this link. When I first read it, it sounded like the doctor there had literally written out my entire medical history and extensive list of symptoms. He also offered a detailed explanation of the condition, the tests to ask the doctor for, medications and diet that could be helpful. I also found it helpful to read this link regarding quercetin being more effective than cromolyn as a mast cell stabilizer.

I would encourage you to keep fighting for answers. I sure hope you find something that helps you feel better soon. 🙂
P.S. It wouldn't let me submit this with links... so I will DM them if it will allow that.

Yes vould you please send me a private message with the link? I would be so grateful!!! I could even send my email address if thr private message doesn't work.

Hi anned! I'd love to know also as a few other here, what you are taking that helped? Was it the Claritin and Zyrtec twice a day? I'm starting to lose it mentally and physically. It's been 1 1/2 years since this shortness of breath started. I've have every test imaginable, 3 specialists give up on me and tell me they have no idea and go to the Mayo clinic. I can't afford to go there, and it's ridiculous that doctors aren't will to help their patients and we're disposable. ugh! I'm so frustrated and in pain every day. Sorry for venting, it's just so darn tough to live like this daily and not get the time of day from doctors.
