Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

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.

I'm on the Facebook pages dealing with Long Haulers Covid and lots of people are taking antihistamines. In fact, when my breathing situation had just started, I found a prescription bottle of Hydroxizine, an anti-histamine, which a dr. had given me to relax before bed. I took a 10 mg. pill that night and I could just feel my chest calming down. Before I found that, I really was considering the ER.
Then I saw that a lot of people are using the combination of H1 and H2 to block histamine. Supposed to work together. Lots take Zyrtec (H1) with Pepcid AC (H2). It's worked for me (off and on). One of each, morning and night.
Also, avoiding or eliminating histamine foods is what lots of people are doing for the post covid shortness of breath.
