Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi @jackoss11, I know the feeling well! When it began for me, I remember resisting the urge as much as possible then finally taking a deep breath when I felt like I absolutely needed it, and the issue temporarily went away after about 2-3 days of doing that. So might be worth trying to resist the urge as much as possible and seeing what happens. I also learned to breathe through my nose as much as possible, which I think also helped me.
Yes, I would very much like to keep in touch and know how you are doing. I have managed mine over the years through breathing exercises and physical exercise, and I definitely hope you can find an answer.
Did it come about suddenly a week ago and did it happen just during the day?

Hi Gabe, It came on suddenly during the day. I felt a bit short of breath and when I tried taking a deep breath in I wasn't able to. I am still trying to resist the urge but feel short of breath when I do so.
I'm hoping that its just a temporary thing caused by anxiety or stress as I find it pretty difficult to deal with and can't see myself being able to cope with it for a long period.
