Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hey. I wanted to ask how you’ve been doing. I have the same problem. It started in 2021.. around the time I got my vaccine so I thought maybe it’s somehow related but I don’t think it is. I have tested my heart and took an xray of lungs.. there was nothing. What I have in common with you is that I also have GERD (who doesn’t these days) and I was also diagnosed with fatty liver a while back. Now I’m left with this mysterious sob.. I don’t know how to fix it and honestly it’s effecting my mental health as well. Please tell me you’ve found a solution to this. You are way ahead of me

Hi marzj.

I’ve been reluctant to share that my air hunger issue started a week after my vaccine. When I saw your post, I figured I’d throw it out there. Coincidentally I also got the shingles, so I’m not sure if any of these things were related.

I have GERD (or LPR, not fully sure) and what has helped for me has been first learning that I have low stomach acid, and then taking Betaine HCL. It’s reduced my air hunger issue a bit.

I’ve also found the Buteyko breathing helpful for managing the symptoms. I am thankful Gabe recommended this.

So, it’s not gone away for me, but it’s becoming less distracting and more manageable.
