Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

i agree about it being worse when I think (obsess) about it.
I'm still not 100% sure this is not long covid since I started 6 days before I got other symptoms and tested positive. Some docs think it could be. Some think it's anxiety. I've been on anti anxiety meds for 6 months. Still in same recover/relapse pattern.
I have to say diaphragm strengthening tool has helped I think. Also doing diaphragm breathing throughout thd day.I also take an antihistamine and cut out sugar, alcohol and high histamine foods. I've started a very clean diet. Lost 23 pounds. If not for this breathing, I'd be the healthiest girl on the planet!

I've never had Covid that I know of? But this all started when Covid first came on the scene. I was scared to death to go to the doctor. So maybe I had it and didn't even know it? It's been part of my life now for over two years. It comes and goes, I'll have days where it is always there then I'll I have days where it dosen't bother me and I feel good and can get decent full breaths. I've read alot of the comments on this thread and most all of the people here are experiencing the exact same thing. Doctors are worthless! They look at you like it's all in your head! No one really understands unless they've had this issue. I'm hoping that some day it just magically disappears!
