Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi @gsc, I take it this started for you recently. Did it start while you were shoveling snow, or when you went to bed? The tests showing normal results is good. If you plan on getting more tests, I would look for any nutrient deficiencies, GI issues, thyroid, and possible vocal cord dysfunction. If possible, I wouldn't take deep breaths just to test it. I remember doing this a while back and I believe at least for me, it made the issue worse and contributed to me hyperventilating.
Do you normally breathe through your mouth and are you aware of any snoring while sleeping?

Yes started Dec 27. Shovelled during the day. It was at night I first noticed when laying in bed. I don’t have any tests lined up in the near future. I will
Inquire about those things you mentioned. Thank you. My wife tells me I snore when I am very tired. I purchased a sleep apnea app thing and it is telling me I sleep very well. Trying my best to breath through my nose. I also have been doing the Buteyko breathing each morning drive to work. Last several days have been daily improvements.
