Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@gabrielm Thanks for replying! I'd say more of a softer restriction, almost like something is preventing it from expanding or something is blocking the air from getting in. I've been to the ER where everything (blood tests, oxygen levels, x-rays) came out normal. My doctor prescribed albuterol which didn't help. I did test for H Pylori recently and it came out positive. Just started antibiotic treatment for that so we'll see if that helps.

Definitely let me know how the antibiotic treatment goes and if that improves your breathing.

Yeah I think most people who describe this issue also feel it's more of a softer restriction rather than a hard stop like a stitch or an airway restriction. But I've never heard of the sensation being on one side of the lungs.

How long have you been dealing with this? Do you have other issues like allergies, asthma, etc?
