Hello fellow sufferers, I wrote a couple months back but could not find my response to say which number to refer to, quick recap. I've suffered from the "mysterious Shortness Of Breath" since the age of 10, And finally found out my answer, maybe you guys should get this checked if you have not yet. I went to a gastroenterologist, I explained my symptoms this was the 2nd time going to one, I do not know why they did not just simply check this from the beginning, I've gone to the hospital various times thinking I was going to die. There is an acid from the stomach that comes up And sits in the throat making me have trouble breathing, its called LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux), before you continue to look for a way out please get this out the way to make sure its not the same thing. they should put a long thing with a camera down your throat, the doctor told my mother to record and I could really see the acid, I was put on pantoprazole but did not work, I consulted a doctor in Mexico through cellphone And he sent me 3 types of medicine I take it 3 times a day each, I hope the American doctor does not get mad, but for some weird reason Mexican meds always seem to be more effective, its just a pain getting them here. I have definitely been better, it's still there but can definitely say I wish to get better soon, And I wish you guys do as well. please go to a gastroenterologist to rule acids out, it's insane how bad it took over my life, I wrote here before and I was very desperate to find an answer, please check it out. the main trigger is food, almost everything, even salad. I was sent to physiologist And taking Xanax but they never checked acids once, just ruled me out as crazy, I am 18 has been a very sad And frustrating situation. please rule out acids. hope everyone gets better.

@edgarc, thank you for sharing! I am glad that you are improving and have found what effects you. Knowing this, you can work in the cause and continue to improve. I'm sure many people will benefit from your story and seek to find if it's GI related. I too had an endoscopy done years ago and found I had GERD so I continue to treat that daily.
