Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Gabriel and everyone, thanks for describing symptoms and remedies. I'm wondering how people are doing as I write this a year and a half after the last post in the thread, by Tonya. My situation is like Gabriels's: continuous attempts at yawns, with maybe every third one successfully satisfying the need. I'll wake up at night to pass water and lie in bed afterward trying to yawn! (We can talk about my enlarged prostate and urination schedule some other time. 😑 😁) I'm going to look into the Buteyko method, but I'd love to discover the cause. Oh, and I have the light dizzy spells, too. Like Gabriel, I'm healthy and not too stressed (all things considered, given events while I'm writing this). The allergy hypothesis does not check out for reasons others have cited. Blood pressure and oxygen are good. I'm perplexed! And practically gasping.

Hi @jpgillam, this thread is very active and people post at least weekly. I'm doing about the same- breathing is not normal, but it's manageable. I still deal with the air hunger, but it's not severe. It's at least tolerable. I'm able to do some light to moderate exercises and do everything pretty normal. I continue to utilize some Buteyko exercises which keeps it under control. I haven't found a cause as of yet, but it might have to do with GERD and/or sinus issues. But still at a loss myself. But at least I am managing it and can live somewhat normal.
