Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi there, yes I will definitely keep you updated. I have been doing pursed lip breathing. In general, I try to inhale through my nose and use my belly as opposed to my chest when breathing in. I am sorry to hear about your experience with panic attack. I just had the same experince about a week ago and this is when I decided to take some time off work and to start my Zoloft treatment. Do you have any similar experience with yawning?
I have spent quite a bit of time on reading up on the conditon "dysfunctional breathing" or "chronic hyperventilation syndrome" as it seems like the symptoms I have been experiencing are very similar to those associated with this condition. Thank you

Yes! I do have a similar experience with the yawning. I will try to take a deep breath and if it doesn't feel like enough, then I keep trying to yawn until it does. Sometimes I feel I cant even yawn! That is when I spiral.
Looks like were kinda in the same boat then, I'm willing to try something for my anxiety because of this recent panic attack. That sure was not fun, and I want to avoid that happening again!
I am going to look I to dysfunctional breathing, I just did for a moment and it's very intriguing. I've also read up alot on sighing dyspnea.
I really need to try some of these breathing exercises. I'm a little scared but I should try.
