Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I was told by the respiratory therapist to only breath through the nose. Try to suppress opening of the mouth to yawn or sigh. Instead, swallow or drink a sip of water. If you MUST breathe through the mouth, hold it at the top and release very very slowly.

I like that @sheebacat, I do that myself especially the part holding the in breath at the top and exhaling slowly. I do that if I catch myself breathing heavily a lot. It’s a good way to slow the breathing back down
