Have you found any way to manage it at all? After doctor tests kept coming back normal, I became convinced that it wasn't caused by anything serious that something about my breathing was just off, but I didn't know how or why. So that's when I started focusing on managing it, while at the same time trying to find answers.
If you get a chance, look up "Buteyko Breathing Method", which is the method that has greatly reduced my symptoms (and even made the whole issue go away for a couple of years), and I still manage the issue by doing breathing exercises occasionally.
The first few days back in 2012 when I first discovered this breathing method, I only breathed through my nose and resisted the urge to take a deep breath as much as possible, which was difficult no doubt, but after about 3 days, the air hunger pretty much disappeared. So there may be something off that breath control helps to get back in sync.
Thank you Gabe. I’m going to try the Buteyko method to see if the symptoms can be controlled. I may also see an ENT as perhaps it is LPR causing it. It’s chronic at this point.
