Hello Colleen, Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and, also, for providing me with some very valuable information. These two years have been very stressful and frustrating. You go from doctor to doctor and from test to test looking for answers and there is not a single result that could dictate the way to proceed simply because nothing wrong has been found. However, the shortness of breath and a dry cough persist. I am currently trying to convince my wife to go to Mayo but she is hesitant in doing so given the time to be spent on the road and her frail condition. She thinks SHANDS is a more practical option given the fact that is much closer to home. As I said, shortness of breathe has last for about two years. She also has fibromyalgia and this she has experienced for many years. I have read about False Shortness of Breathe and she took several tests prescribed by a Gastro doctor (endoscopy and esophageal barium (?), among others and the diagnose was that there was nothing abnormal with her digestive tract. She often experiences heartburn, though. Needless to say that I thank you for having moved my discussion to the other forums where, probably, I will be able to get even more valuable information. Thanks a ton!
