Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi. Thanks for asking. I cant feel it too much if I breath normally. I only feel it when I force an exhale. It feels like my lungs are closing too soon and I cant push the air out. It gets a lot worse if I eat or lay on my back. If I am on my back, I can barely exhale at all.

Thanks again

Were you checked and diagnosed for asthma? I wonder if it's your esophagus or even your lower esophagus that's inflamed or closing and maybe gives you the sensation that it's the lungs. But it could also be the lungs if it's something like asthma.

The fact that the inhaler is helping is a good sign. If it is asthma, it might be worth exploring with your doctor different dosages and types of inhalers to see what helps vs what doesn't really help.
