Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the update, happy you're managing your symptoms. As I told Tonya, you may want to consider Babesia infection as the cause of your air hunger. That's what causes mine. It also causes heart palpitations, bloating, and insomnia in me. May be a miracle answer, but the cure is a problem for some people like me (i.e., not cured by standard treatment).

Interesting! I had not heard of this before, and thank you for sharing! I will have to look into this more.

Could you tell us more about your experience? How did doctors diagnose babesia? Did you have any other indicators, like low red blood cell count? Are you being treated for babesia or Lyme? Have the treatments reduced or eliminated your air hunger (and/or excessive yawning, if you have that, too)?
