Hi @roberto9319, thank you for sharing your story. I've had my air hunger for about 10 years as well. I know what you mean about going to bed. I've noticed that I tend to focus on the air hunger more when I'm trying to sleep and it seems to be worse if I'm lying down. So now I start my night sleeping sitting up in a recliner then move to the bed when I know I can fall asleep quickly. I've learned to live with it, but doing breathing exercises and physical exercise definitely helps to keep symptoms at bay. So I can live a normal life, just not do certain things like high level physical exercise or climbing up long flights of stairs. Things like that where if I push myself too hard, then I really feel extreme air hunger.

Definitely let me know how your treatment goes! It's always good to hear from others how things are going with them and how various treatments affect symptoms. I hope that the treatment helps you.

Please have an X-RAY or MRI done of your spine. I had a pinched nerve causing my particular breathing problem.
