Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

That was how it was when it first started for me; exercise seemed to help and sitting around made it worse or I just noticed it more. I used to exercise pretty vigorously but probably over did it at some point and it made it worse. But I do find that weigh lifting moderately nearly every day helps and keeps it in check. What kind of exercise do you do?

When I read your initial post, I thought to myself this is exactly what I have! I mostly do cardio, I can do an hour on my airbike and not be winded at all. I sometimes do a 20 minute jog. But the next day I'll be sitting at my desk taking in deep breaths of air, not moving at all. Does this sound normal? It does make me anxious sometimes and I'll start googling or going on reddit searching for answers, but I am just confusing myself more.
