Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I would definitely recommend further testing, did your Doctor do a Chest Scan? I was experiencing shortness of breath and my Doctor ordered a Chest Scan which showed that I had scarring on my lungs. Once you have scarring of the lungs, the damage can’t be reversed, and you need to stop the progression. After further testing I was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis and interstitial lung disease. So please get more testing, I was having shortness of breath for about four month before I went to my doctor. I wished I hadn’t waited so long. Good luck! Kathryn

No chest scan, just a quick look over with the stethoscope. I'm definitely going to get more scans though, just to put my mind at ease at least. Regarding the shortness of breath, did yours occur even during exercise? For me it seems like mine only is there while im sitting around or at rest and when I exercise its pretty much fine. Did you have any other symptoms too?
