Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Wow. I will keep in touch with this thread. I also have chronic shortness of breath. I take asthma meds, allergy meds, blood thinner (I had a pulmonary embolism at one time - they want to make sure I don't get another one), and do exercises to strengthen the muscles that pull my lungs out and in. I've been to Allergists, Pulmonary Doctors, Physical Therapists, Cardiologists, Neurologists, you name it. The asthma meds clear it up temporarily but I'm gasping again the next day. Peggy

hi @pfbacon, you mentioned about taking asthma meds and them helping to clear it up temporarily. Were you diagnosed with asthma by a doctor? Do the diaphragm exercises help your breathing improve?

The feeling of not being able to yawn I can relate to. It is like you want to yawn but your body won't take a full yawn.
