Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@sal51 Wow, thank you so much for this post. This is incredibly helpful and insightful. Reassures us that our state of mind can play a huge role in how we feel. I’ve found that working in improving an area of my life (exercise, diet, getting help for allergies, etc.) one at a time helps to some degree. Thanks for providing a point of view from a medical professional not normally perceived by most medical professionals.

@sal51 @gabrielm. I'll second this WOW and everything Gabriel said including Thanks. It's easy to forget doctors are humans usually trying their best to help their patients. They become frustrated when they can't find reasons for our symptoms and their inability to help us, just as we become frustrated by not being helped. I have hope someday doctors and scientists will find answers to help people with these symptoms. I remember visiting several doctors decades ago to no avail when I was feeling like death warmed over. Doctors at the time didn't know anything about chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia and tended to discount and dismiss me and my symptoms. Now they are both widely recognized illnesses with treatment protocols. I really like your common sense approach and will remember it in the future. Thanks for your post and good luck in your journey to better health. Take care. Nancy
