Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi, the instructions said do not eat two hours before or after taking so I didn’t for 5 weeks. Had no idea what it would do geez! But I had the SOB weeks before starting the doxy. I am definitely on my way to losing this extra 20 lbs. already lost 10lbs dealing with this. But thats hopeful to hear if I lose more weight this sob might subside. As for diet. It’s interesting, if you google hepatonia it will lead you to the other 7 body types that exist according to this approach. There’s 8 total. The acupuncturist determines your body type by pulse and based on that you eat according to your body type. I am supposed to eat beef, protein but NO seafood or green leafy items. It sounds so ridiculous I know. But I will say I stopped eating beef and milk about three years ago when the allergist said I was mildly allergic. When I recently went to the allergist for another prick test( One month after the sob attack) I was completely not allergic to beef. So strange. But then he told me that the prick tests are about 40-50% false positive for allergies! So I might have never been allergic to beef. Anyway so this whole time I havnt been eating beef and this acupuncturist did not know that. So now I’m eating about 3oz of Lean organic beef 5 days a week, root vegetables (something about eating only vegetable under the ground) all citrus and melons, zucchini apparently is fine. It seems crazy I know but I’m trying to use conventional western healthy guidelines as well but def staying away from seafood and greens. He’s saying it about what foods are harmful to my body type rather than loading up on the foods I can eat like beef so it’s moderation on what I eat
And avoid the things that are harmful. Hope this makes sense.
I was wondering, does anyone get a cough when you exhale deeply? I seem to get an occasional dry, very brief cough when I exhale deeply and only at the end of the exhale.

@jduffy- The last time I was put on doxy at home was for Lyme disease. When I picked up the prescription my pharmacist said to eat before it.. Things can get very confusing. I always ask my pharmacist if there is anything that I shouldknow about the drug. Does this make sense?
