Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi Gabe,

I can't post a link but I want you to Google vegetative-vascular dystonia.

The only literature and research I could find regarding vegetative-vascular dystonia is of Eastern European literature (Ukraine for example). I haven't found any American Literature on it. In fact, the Vegetative Vascular System is actually called the Parasympathetic Nervous System is most literature. Regardless, the part it mentions about perceived shortness of breath seems to alight with what you and I are feeling. I will keep digging into it but let me know if you find anything out as well.

Edit: I just found out the Buteyko breathing method was also developed by a Ukrainian doctor. That's can't be a coincidence. I wonder if the answer to our problems lie not in U.S medical system, but in a foreign one.

@tahiristan, thank you, I will look that up!

As for a Buteyko method video, look up Patrick Mckeown. I used methods that he taught but I learned exercises from learnbuteykoonline.net. It’s a Zoom class where you’re taught by a practitioner and you leave with a few exercises that you can do until symptoms improve.
