Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

It dosen't seem to bother me at night. It's never woken me up. When I suffered from asthma as a kid that would wake me up at night and I would have to take my inhaler. This is different, no real wheezing or cough, just can't get a full deep breath. It usually gets worse through out the day and then sometimes gets better towards evening. But it's definitely an air hunger feeling with some tightness in the chest.

Exactly the same. Nothing at night. Just during the day. Today was extra bad. I had caffeine and that's not typical for me. I'm not sure if that made it worse. Doctor's still can't figure it out besides saying it is anxiety and prescribing medications.

@kevink, interesting that it doesn’t bother you at night. That’s how it was for me too. Bothered me during the day but I could sleep fine at night. So obviously there’s normal breathing at night but with the air hunger feeling during the day. Do you still have asthma or did it go away as you grew from childhood?
