Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

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!

Makes sense. That can certainly cause the feeling of not being able to catch your breath for a while, as though you just exercised even though you might have walked a few steps. I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum; overweight and normal weight. For me and for many others here, the breathing problems persist since I believe the “air hunger” is different from shortness of breath where breathing might be labored. With dyspnea, one could be sitting completely still for hours and the empty lung feelings still remains. So very complex and mysterious!

I will certainly put that conclusion to my dr/pulmonologist,
Thanks for that update!
