Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

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?

My shortness of breath occurred only with exertion such as exercise, walking uphill, going up stairs. It did not happen while I was resting. I had all the classic symptoms of Dermatomyositis, skin rash, muscle weakness, and ILD. Hopefully you don’t have Dermatomyositis, there are so many things that can cause shortness of breath. I would just continue to look for answers so you can get the proper diagnosis. Kathryn
