Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I have been dealing with this for at least 20 years. It really got worse about 5 years ago. I’ve had all types of tests for lungs, stomach, digestion. Maybe 18 months ago I was told by a Dr I had dumping syndrome where my stomach empties too fast. Usually an 1-2 hours after eating I feel bloated and short of breath. It happens with all meals but seems worse with lunch and especial if they are heavy. I’ve tried eating smaller portions but it is hit or miss. I’ve also been prescribed several rx that do nothing. Ready to give up.

@jack10525 don't give up! I am sorry that it's gotten worse. But eating smaller meals being hit or miss is definitely a good thing and sign of hope. That means that you've done something that your body is responding positively to. That's definitely a good thing. Any amount of improvement is a big sign of hope. Have you tried or looked into breathing exercises?
