Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I've been having the sane problem on and off for about 5 years. I had all tests done. Everything was fine. The doctor said it must be anxiety. I have lots of anxiety but I'm on meds for it. I found your post when I Googled that the only way to catch my breath was through yawning. And sometimes it doesn't work. I'm about to go back to the doctors and go through tests just in case something else could be going on. It's hard to function like this. I'm not even exerting myself for this SOB. It's very scary. And when I eat and get full I feel even more SOB.

@franyjake, the good thing about finding this forum is knowing that you're not alone! It sounds like you're going through a similar thing I did (& am to a smaller degree) as well as many other people. It definitely helps to know that you're not alone and knowing you can draw hope and inspiration from all of us.

You mentioned that's been off and on for 5 years. Is there any sort of pattern you notice with it? Like how long do you feel better vs when you're experiencing symptoms and do symptoms coincide with anything that you're aware of?
