Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi, Colleen! I have tried Buteyko Breathing that was mentioned earlier in the post (in the past) and that works but at the same time make's me feel like this problem is in control of my life. I mentioned seeing a cognitive behavior therapist who tried hypnosis and a method called EFT tapping to reduce anxiety all of which has worked for a tempory amount of time or who know's it could've just been a placebo effect. I have noticed throughout these months my sinues feel always clogged even though they're not which might be something related. I may just try the SSRI's (Zoloft) and see if I feel any difference even though I doubt they'll work. I'm at the point where it's almost been a year and I'm willing to try just about anything.

I have also noticed my sinuses feeling sort of...swollen. Like I’m stuffy, but no congestion. I can only assume it’s swelling.

However, I take Claritin and Flonase, and those don’t really help. I’ve also taken Zoloft in the past, taking Wellbutrin now (already diagnosed with depression), and that doesn’t help.

About a week and a half ago, it suddenly went away. I had started taking Prilosec, so I hoped I had figured it out. But it started again just as suddenly, two days ago.
