Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?
Lung Health | Last Active: Oct 23 10:20am | Replies (3405)Comment receiving replies
I finally found a group that feels the exact same as me! I started having this from running as well/sports. I have had my lungs checked and they are perfectly fine. I only feel “satisfied” from my deep breathe if I yawn or if I hold my breathe long enough. I hope there is at some point a miracle cure because it really interrupts my daily life quite a bit. Are there any other things you guys suggest or do that helps relieve the feeling?

Hi @greent18, Were you checked for asthma during your lung check, whether the common kind, or sports asthma? I know some people who have exercise-induced asthma that can cause a feeling of shortness of breath or air hunger while exercising.
People have noted things that have helped them over the years. I know there are a lot of pages of comments on this thread, but might be worth it to skim through at least a few of them. I encourage people to do breathing exercises because that's what helped me. They may not help everyone, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try. I use the Buteyko method and that's what has helped me the most, as well as keeping up with regular exercise (with breath control).
