Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I do Buteyko breathing when I am having a particularly bad episode. It does seem to help some. Today is one week since my bad flare-up and I am feeling much better during the days. Nights are still rough because I am thinking about it more and not focused on other things. Reminding myself that I have gotten through it before and it will pass has helped. My GP is sending me for an ultrasound of my stomach to rule out gall bladder issues. The higher dose of omeprazole does seem to be helping so I am going to stay on that for now.

I'm glad you're doing better. It's such a relief when your symptoms diminish and you feel like you can live pretty normally again. At night, I would way try to have a nightly routine that gets your mind off the symptoms. It could be different things that you try, but I also would do Buteyko at night early on which dealt with the increase in symptoms at night for me. I'm glad the higher dose of omeperazole is helping. I would keep that up as long as it helps for sure.
