I had been experiencing SOB like many of you in thread for a few years. Started following this thread a long time ago in the hopes of finding a solution. It was a battle every day to breathe calmly and get the satisfying sensation of a "deep breath".

One thing that I correlated with this issue for myself was GERD (acid reflux.) I had, for years, been experiencing nightly reflux. I have since fixed my reflux issue for the last 2 years by first going on a carnivore diet. Best thing I've ever done for health. Was a great reset to begin adding back foods that agreed with me. I no longer experience any reflux symptoms and am healthier than ever.

While the years I spent concentrating on my breathing to get through the day have left me with a sort of conscious attending to of my breath, I no longer think about breathing anymore and am experiencing satisfying breaths constantly! This issue was pure hell for me and caused many panic inducing episodes, I can finally declare myself to have corrected this issue.

Other things I have done include daily exercise once my breathing started improving, as well as sporting activities during the week (tennis.) I am posting this here in hopes someone that may have a similar cause can maybe try this. I would not wish the experience on anybody. I still do not consume vegetables. My diet is centered around animal products and fruit. My biomarkers are excellent, apart from a higher than normal cholesterol. Although, my calcification levels are zero.I do not subscribe to the school of thought around cholesterol being an indicator for declining health (in the absence of metabolic syndrome.) Good luck to any who are still experiencing SOB and I hope you can get past it.
