Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Has anyone considered mold in their homes as a reason for the air hunger? I have been out of town the past 2 weekends and my air hunger is just about non existent while away. I progressively becomes worse with each day once I'm home. On my really bad days I am also very bloated. I don't know if it is related, a coincidence, or I'm causing it by trying to get that deep breath in over and over again.

That's an interesting thought, whether it is mold or some other allergen or air quality issue in your home!
Have you done any exploring yet, or do you know for certain you have a mold issue?

I am noticing an improvement after having our air ducts cleaned and my husband could tell the difference immediately. It’s well worth the money spent if you don’t know when it was last done if you moved recently.

interesting about the possible mold connection. I have suspected mold, as my symptoms came on not long after moving into my current home. I think I will try and find somewhere else to stay for a couple of weeks to see if it improves my symptoms at all. thanks.
