Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

This is as close as an explanation of what I feel. I can do hard exercise with no problem. In fact sometimes it helps! It's not SOB but more of that deep satisfying breath. It started about a year and a half ago. I went on Omeprazole and it went away for a year. My doctor wanted me to try to go off so I did and it has returned. I went back on Omeprazole but it didn't help. Endoscopy and biopsy showed mild redness but no hernia or bacteria. Increased Omeprazole to 2x a day. Hasnt helped. When it's bad I do feel bloated but not also. I'm so over it!! I was just prescribed Pantoprazole DOD DR 40mg. Fingers crossed

@jenh1128 i have been on omeperazole for years. It hasn’t helped the breathing but has at least helped the GERD which can exacerbate the breathing issue of left unchecked. Have you had a lot of tests done yet? By the way if your number in your username is a birthday then we have the same birthday! 🙂
