Hi all,
I’m a new member and I’m just checking in to say hello. I have been dealing with SOB mainly at rest for many, many years. Since ‘04 in fact. I did have asthma as a child and foolishly smoked socially from the age of 17 to 32 or so. I have a “simple chronic bronchitis” which today had mostly burned out as I never cough or have much phlegm any more. My FEV1 is over 100% as in my FVC and I have a clear CT although further testing is being lined up. I have no gastro or heart issues. My tolerance for excercise is excellent but I do find myself with disabling breathlessness during those quiet periods in my life. There could obviously a significant anxiety element which I’m addressing with an SSRI and breathing techniques. I have tried the Buteyko excercises with limited success in the past so I’ll be revisiting. Anyway good luck all & nice to be here!
