Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hey, I haven't updated in almost a year but come here almost every week to look at all the responses to see if anyone has found a cure. I have nothing much to share, saw a GI doc earlier this year who suggested that this breathing isn't connected to some underlying GI issue. The doctor wanted to do an endoscopy, which is scheduled for sometime next year. Was told that in the meantime I should go see the pulmonologist again, to make sure nothing is wrong with my lungs. Maybe breathing exercises is the key to all this (like you mentioned in your post), I frequent Reddit to find other people who also suffer from this issue, and a lot of people see a lot of success seeing a respiratory therapist.

Still disappointed that there is no label to put on this condition.

Anyway, hope you all have another great holiday season!

Hey @itsnotanxiety, thanks for sharing. I am sure very many people on this forum appreciate periodic updates, whatever it may be. The endoscopy may reveal something like it did for me (inflamed esophagus), which I think somewhat contributed to my breathing issue. But there is certainly no harm in trying breathing exercises to see what may help reduce your symptoms. Was there a particular set of exercises you have tried or looked into yet?
