Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Thank you for replying,
My breathing is normal during the day. Last night I couldn’t fall asleep because I was yawning and trying to get a deep breath.
And this happened to me few times, after I was sick with Covid and bronchitis.
That was two months ago.
From that time I would woke up during the night gasping for air, then I would calm down and normally would breath.
Thank you

That's great news that it's normal during the day. My suggestion would be to have as much of a relaxing bed time routine as possible if you don't already. For example, taking a warm bath with reduced nasal breathing, reading a book to take your mind off any negative sensation, and meditating. If it is long covid symptoms, I would suspect the symptoms will reduce over time and pass.

Have you tried sleeping more upright? I find this helps me if I'm having trouble with my breathing at night.
