Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?
Lung Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (3422)Comment receiving replies
hello guys, I hope everyone is fine. I'm here just to share with you the fact that I've been facing this problem since three days. At parts of the day I've figured out that I'm hyperventilating though I'm still 21 with no chronic health problems. I visited a physician and he prescribed 5mg bisoprolol daily. What i want to share is that I feel that i always need thay deep breath to fulfill my lungs. Although I still can live with it, but it's really annoying. I also forget all about this problem whenever I'm really busy. Yet most of the time I always feel that I do need a yawn or deep breath. I wonder if you've find any cure guys.

@alaahabli3- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I hope that you plan on reading a lot of the vast number of posts made by members of this group. SOB seems to be affecting a lot of people. There are a lot of things that can cause this including anxiety, even if you don't think that you are anxious. But even at your age, you need to see your doctor and make sure that everything is fine and that you have no underlying medical causes for this.
Have you been in contact with your doctor? Has anything in your llife changed recently?
Hi I was suffering big time too all the symptoms you named off. Including the yawing and shortness of breath. I got to the bottom of it. I went to see countless specialists with no answers. Until I met my gastroenterologist. At first I had serious doubts my breathing was a result of my gut. But it was! My Pulmonary doctor to treat it by exercise. I could barley walk 20 yards with out being winded. I didn’t believe him at first. But now I am living proof we can get through this. I exercise 1 hour a day now and cut out all my meds except for omeprazol. I feel great physically and the shortness of breath has gone away. I have other health issues but nothing related to this topic. Keep your faith and be strong and don’t give up hope.

Hello @alaahabli3 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry that you find yourself dealing with this shortness of breath. Many other members in this discussion will be able to relate to the lack of feeling a deep breath to fill your lungs.
What I am curious to learn is if you have had a change in your life or something that has been magnified in the last month or few weeks that would explain you hyperventilating? Do you find yourself anxious about anything or something in particular? Do you feel as though you are hyperventilating versus not being able to catch your (full) breath?
