FEV1/FVC .82 means no airway obstruction
RV/TLC 28 normal lung volume
DLCO 110% of predicted
No sleep apnea June 2022
CXR February 2022 no acute processes, lungs clear
CT scans in May and July 2021 no a cure processes, lungs clear
acid reflux bothers me pretty much daily especially after lunch. SOB, gasping for air seems to coincide. I don’t have a cough and minimal phlegm. May have some in the back of my throat. Asthma?!? I have 5 German shepherd dogs. Could they be triggering some daily reactions?!? But this air hunger, sigh breath, SOB seems to be occurring more frequently.

That's good that those tests came back normal. It's always a relief to know that there aren't issues with other aspects of your health. Do you take anything for the acid reflux? Some people have found relief of the breathing symptoms after dealing with reflux. Not everyone finds relief, but at least taking care of the reflux would be one less thing to deal with.
As far as your dogs, I would say it's possible they could be triggering symptoms, but I'm thinking more in terms of allergies than anything else. Do you have known pet or environmental allergies? How long have you had your dogs?
