Cant yawn big enough exercise and stress; now effecting daughter

@yawner- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Twenty years is a long time to be having your symptoms. And I see that they have changed. Anxiety is one of the major reasons for SOB, even when you don't feel stressed or anxious it can be lurking behind closed doors. And perhaps your daughter has picked up some learning cues?
@gabrielm has had a lot of experience in this area and might be able to chime in. Have you tried exercises and learning a new way to breathe?

Hi @yawner. Indeed that is a long time to be dealing with this. But I’ll tell you, I’ve been dealing with a similar “air hunger” since 2012. So almost 10 years. For the past few years I have managed to keep it under control using breathing exercises and just knowing that I’m going to be fine, so that reduces the anxiety. Have you had blood work door or any lung function tests besides asthma? And I also encourage you to read as much of the shortness of breath thread mentioned previously to see what things you can glean from that.
