Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi Everyone,

I cannot tell you how extremely grateful I am to have come across this page. As I read the many many posts starting in 2019 I felt like I could almost cry from relief. I feel like this is the first time I’ve seen in words how I feel internally and have been unable to describe! I’ve had the hunger for air for about 3 months strongly now, though I feel like it was mild for about 6 months, if not more. Like many before me I’ve done all the blood work, stress tests, etc. I’ve been going to therapy and acupuncture (which seems to give relief for a couple days at a time!) but have found no permanent solution. I do feel like I’ve developed anxiety from this condition which has made it worse, but I do believe there is an underlying cause. I’ve been wanting to do a gut health diet for a couple weeks now as I was suspicious that might be the cause! Thank you for the wealth of knowledge that has been added to this forum. I feel so hopeful after reading all of this!!

Hi @mgereda, first of all, I’m sorry that you’re going through this, but I’m glad you found us. It feels good to have a mysterious condition be put into words especially when communicating with doctors. Seems like you’ve done most of the tests you could do, and did any test or blood work show anything unusual? Have you tried breathing exercises? That has helped me manage my breathing for a while.
