I've had this issue for the past 3-4 years. Sadly, for me, this is not the only issue I experience. I've dealt with chronic pain for 8-10 years (upper left side of back, shoulderblade, headaches, neck).

I've also had chronic fatigue for the past 3-4 years (always super tired, I can't play sports or do too much physical activity, running, etc)

My mental health is also in a really bad state. My focus and concentration are atrocious, my memory is disgusting. Even my vision feels affected. My perception of life it's not what its used to be.

I've had the shortness of breath issue for the past 3-4 years. I don't feel the satisfaction or relief when breathing. It goes on and off, but it's been consistent on a daily basis for the past 3 years, and it happens at least a few times during the day, sometimes it could be all day long.

Aside from the shortness of breath, I am constanly yawning. Sometimes I try to yawn to reach the satisfaction, and it still does not work. I also find myself burping a lot when this happens. Like a lot.

I notice that I grind my teeth so often, I'm constantly putting pressing on my jaw, unconsciously (this happens more often when my shortness of breath is bad). I have had a bad habit since I was a kid, not sure why, but it seem I do hold my breath when I concentrate a lot doing something, like playing a videogame. I've noticed that for some reason, when I do that, I positioned my tongue towards the left side of my lower teeth (closer to the wisdom tooth). Not sure if that means something.

Well, for the bonus, my girlfriend broke up with me recently, she betrayed me with a friend of mine and my heart is broken.

All the accumulation of things happening in my life have made me feel discouraged to continue... My only hope is to get better physically. I can't keep going like this for much longer.

My primary doctor ordered x ray of chest, shoulder/trapezius. He did an extensive blood test. Testosterone was low, everything else, normal.

At ER I've had EKG, and lung x rays. Everything seems fine (although my heart beats faster than my peers in every situation. Sitting still, my heart beat is usually between 85-100. Sometimes even a little bit more. Doing mild physical exercise (which drains me quickly), it can go between 140-160.

Doctor gave me 3 testosterone injections and I've been taking clomid. I have not felt any significant improvements.

My septum it's actually deviated, so I went to ENT about a month ago, and he gave me a spray (which has not worked), with the hopes that insurance will approve a surgery to fix my deviated septum. Nonetheless, I don't think the problem it's in my nose, it feels more in my stomach-airway.

I am schedule for an endoscopy on the 29th, hoping to find at least a partial answer.

I've been going to physical therapy for months, but the pain is still really bad.

I also went to a psychiatrist and I've been taking antidepressants for a few days now.

I am schedule to see a neurologist, pulmonologist and cardiologist in May.

I'll try to see if I can get an MRI, but it's hard for insurance to approve that.

Anyways, my life has been miserable, I don't even know how I'm still here. I stumbled upon this post today, and it felt relatable in many ways.

I do feel discouraged that people have not found a proper solution yet.

I'll read more posts, I'll try to get into the breathing exercises.

I don't believe in any deity, but I'm still praying to find an answer and a solution for my problems. I'm exhausted. A life with zero energy, pain, shortness of breath, lack of social life, of motivation, heartbroken, feeling alone... One can only fight too many battles.

I'm thankful for this post.

I'll keep you updated about my progress.

I needed to vent, thanks for the opportunity
