Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@stm1, do you breathe through your mouth when running? I run when I can, and have learned (through the Buteyko method) to run as your breathing allows but only through the nose. This was part of the thing that helped me to improve symptoms. I used to push myself pretty hard when running but have learned to do lighter running where my breathing doesn't feel too labored.

I force myself to breathe through nose when I am running. I sometimes breathe through mouth afterwards.
I've tried both types of breathing, but I'm not sure if that is of any relevance. Chest is always tight regardless, and these rare "successful" inhales/breaths come both through nose and mouth.
