@ jenh1128, interesting! I once considered allergens and mold at one point as a possibility for my issue. I don’t have a mold problem here in the desert southwest but could see that being a possibility in Florida. I am getting treated for allergies (allergy shots) to help my sinuses and when they’re clear, I don’t have much of a breathing problem. Even mild sinus inflammation can he a problem for a lot of people with their breathing. I also considered that it could be the area I live in but my symptoms are the same no matter where I am. Though it’s still manageable and tolerable, it doesn’t seem to matter at what elevation or environment I’m in.

That’s interesting that you feel bloated when the problem is worse. I too have noticed that in me. If I eat too much it definitely affects the issue so I try to have a lighter and clean diet (but I have weaknesses, lol!) But even when not food related, as the air hunger worsens, I do notice I feel bloated. Have you tried changes in your diet?
