Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Well Im glad I came across this post because I experience the exact same condition. I find myself constantly yawning, not being able to breathe normally through my nose. Sometimes I have to yawn a couple of times to get that satisfying breathe and then minutes later start over again. I have been like this since about June 2020, so its been 5 months. It led me to having anxiety attacks/panic attacks and some emergency dept. visits. EKGs normal, Oxygen levels normal, Lungs sound good, allergy tests negative. I can't do tough exercise because I feel my SOB and my heart starts beating in my chest. I got tired of doctors and just stopped going hoping it will eventually go away, but I don't know :(. If anyone reads this please reply something, its really frustrating and I feel so helpless.

@hollyhedge1- I'm glad that you have found us too, Holly, welcome. Solving the cause of SOB or dyspnea is indeed a challenge to a lot of us. It's scary and frustrating and makes us feel just like you do. But you need to keep plugging ahead and find your cause or learn how to control it. I encourage you to read as many posts as you can to see what others have tried and found helpful.

Have you seen A GI doctor to rule out GERD, which many of us have that can cause SOB? Has a pulmonologist administered any lung tests?

Try a different diet I wrote about how I started feeling like this I'm not even joking any other juice I drink makes me yawn food that are hard to chew makes me yawn junk food toothe only relief I've gotten so far is eating eggs and toast for breakfast and mangoes. and dinner I have rice and fish wild caught and I only use onions, leef, and ionized salt after that if I'm hungry later on eat a gluten free toast with butter and I drink oat milk. And I've been on this diet for a month and my yawning felt better I only yawn three times after my second meal and if I dare to eat at a restaurant or other food I it makes me short of breath and I start having the yawning issue my mouth stays open the whole time and the yawn won't come out last 20 minutes its really bad. I think being exposed to something toxic really messed me up and Idk what to do now I'm allergic to everything now
