Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hello,

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I just discovered this group and have been reading through the comments all day. Not my most productive day at work!

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but my SOB seems to only affect the right side of my lungs, meaning that its the ride side that either feels restricted or feels relief when I am able to breathe deeply. Is this in line with how everyone else experiences SOB? Sorry if its a silly question but I haven't seen anyone specify whether it affects one or both sides of their chest.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @glenjr, that's interesting that it feels like it's only on one side. I've never heard of that before. I would've thought that even if one side is restricted the the other or both lungs would compensate for that. Does it feel like a sharp sudden stitch when taking in a breath or is it more a softer restriction?
