Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

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!

Hi,
Your last sentence was spot on - thank you so much for that.. as it's nothing like not catching a breath after a run etc. - as that is normal for anyone even athletes.
Even when I went to the hospital for it last year they didn't seem to get it.
I will have to make an apt with the lung Dr that diagnosed me with Dyspnea. That was a few years ago when it was not happening daily.
I will not stop until I find an answer & solution.
I don't know about you but I can't live like this as it's not like one can take a pill and there's relief.
Take care
Julia
