Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

So I've been taking pantoprazole for about a month now and have seen little improvement so I'm skeptical that it's totally acid related. But however i did come across a International Journal of Pulmonary and Respiratory Sciences Study/Opinion article that this is actually a common side effect from Covid-19 called Vagal neuropathy more specifically Postviral vagal neuropathy, here's a few links if anyone is interested:
https://juniperpublishers.com/ijoprs/pdf/IJOPRS.MS.ID.555641.pdf <--- (this one is interesting and similar to a lot of people in this post)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11464321/
Most of the foods in one of the article that they say to stay away from, I usually ingest multiple times a week like Flavored sodas, Bottled iced tea and tomato sauce so that might explain a bit.
Has anyone here checked out the possibilities that this could be some sort of vocal cord dysfunction with the vocal fold not closing correctly?

@itsnotanxiety I thought about you when I read this article. It's about a saliva test that can predict if Covid has gotten into your lungs. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/saliva-test-covid-19-severity

@isnotanxiety. After a few months of being on this site, it's hard for me to keep people straight. Didn't you say something in one of your early posts about coming in contact with someone you thought had Covid about the time your symptoms appeared? This could well be the cause of your SOB, etc. I've gotten interested in the underlying role histamines and amines play in causing health problems and have it on my to-do list to read more about it and the anti-histamine diet to reduce inflammation. It might be interesting and valuable to you to look at what you are eating and drinking and eliminate those things that have have histamines and amines to see if that helps. Maybe the article you referred to that mentioned food said something about that. We're benefiting from the knowledge you are finding and sharing with us as you try to understand what's going. Thanks! Take care. Nancy
