Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi @gabrielm
That's nice you remembered. I stopped taking the acid reflux meds ( didn't want to continue them for long term) and I started noticing the breathing issue again. However, even when I was taking the meds, I'm not sure if my breathing actually changed or if I just stopped noticing it because my acid reflux wasn't bothering me as much. That's why I'm wondering for those that say they have had this issue "on and off", do they mean that they just stopped noticing it for some time period (maybe distracted by something else) or did their breathing actually change? Here is an interesting article that claims that this issue could be psychological caused by a number of triggers:

Thanks for sharing the article, I will check it out and I'm sure many others will find it helpful. It's definitely possible people stop noticing it when they're distracted. I know for me, if I'm in deep thought to deep concentration on something, I don't really notice an air hunger sensation but do tend to notice it more when I'm not focused on anything or if I'm focused too much on my breathing.
