Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

You’re welcome! I just find it interesting that many of us with breathing issues also have GI issues. Not sure what the correlation is if any, but I’m always trying to research ways that they might be connected and contribute to breathing problems

Gabe- I asked my Pulmonologist what he found was the main reason for SOB. He said obesity. I find that when I gain weight- even 5 lbs and I'm petite, I have struggled with catching my breath!

Thanks for the reasurrance that I'm not alone.
Last year after spending over 10 hours in the hospital (9 was waiting time) who after all that time feels well I ask.
I was given meds for the indigestion or whatever it was, they couldn't quite say. I had blood tests - all normal, X-rays, normal.
That was the first time..
The second time I went was for the onset of trying to catch a good breath. Again more tests, all normal. In conclusion they said it could be anxiety.
I need answers not guesses.
As I mentioned I have a new Dr and we will be having a telephone apt this Wednesday.
He's quite young and very on top of things so just maybe I will get somewhere.
Enjoy the weekend.
