Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I did not have asthma when I was a kid or later in life until this (sob) showed up 2. 5 months ago. My doctors do not believe this is asthma because 1. my lung function test (spirometry) was normal 2. i produce normal and consistent results on my peak flow meter (average 650), and 3. i have my symptoms at rest and not on exertion.
I live in Canada, northwest, in a very different climate than southwest.
No bilirubin, iron, or allergy test yet.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. If you can, try getting bilirubin and iron tested and if you’re comfortable with it, let us know if anything off the chart. Since someone else mentioned high bilirubin and I too have it I’m curious if you may as well. Ultimately we’ve got to be able to find a common denominator or clue as to what’s going on, which maybe will help with a diagnosis or at least treatment that will bring relief.
