Hello and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @gabe79. Not having something to point to with regard to your SOB has to be really confusing and likely frustrating. I am glad you are here where other members can share their experiences and provide you with support.

I see that @otter2154 has already reached out to share with you.

It sounds like you are not convinced that your anxiety alone is likely responsible for your symptoms. I am wondering if you have contracted COVID at any point and/or been tested for antibodies? I am not a medical professional, however, it just feel like perhaps if it has come out of the blue, so to speak, it may be worth exploring given the amount of respiratory complications that follow.

Hi Amanda, thank you so much.Yes I did get Covid late November 2020 (I totally forgot to mention this in my first post) but I only had very mild symptoms such as sore throat, headache, and fatigue. I did not have any breathing issues whatsoever at the time. These symptoms were gone within a week (by early December) or so and had no Covid related symptoms at all until the SOB surfaced on January 31, 2021. Doctors were not sure if this could be a case of long Covid. thank you
