Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

A naturopath put me on an anti-inflammatory diet. Biggest change for me was no sugar. It's been a year. The diet itself didn't help but I have been eating better. What I probably should be doing is a low histamine diet. I follow it loosely. It's hard. I find an anti-histamine every day helps me sometimes. I sometimes get worse just preparing food, cooking. Sometimes I have to rest and eat very slowly. Sometimes I leave the table mid meal to lie down and do diaphragm breathing, then return.
My symptom gets worse with minimal exertion. I walk the dog, play with the toddler grandchild, lift weights at the gym. That's one of the worst things. I am getting ready to go to the mountains for the summer and want to hike without too much effort.

What is your current condition?

Do you get a lot of allergies, and that would be why you do the antihistamine diet? I too get a lot of allergies and notice that my breathing struggles more when my sinuses are inflamed or congested. I haven’t heard much about an antihistamine diet but should look into that.
