Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I haven’t. Not since my inhaler stopped working several years ago. It disappears for a few weeks to a couple of months, then returns for anywhere between a few hours and a week. I am going to see an ENT doctor to find out if there is any damage to my esophagus that would point to “silent reflux”. I’ve been taking Omeprazole but it isn’t helping really.

I’ve never spoken with anyone who has had similar symptoms and I’m so excited to have found even one person who can relate to it, let alone several!

I'm also happy you found others who have gone through what you're experiencing. It always helps when you discover others who have been through similar circumstances. It's definitely tough having these symptoms but I'm also glad that you can have longer stretches of normal breathing. I'm wondering if there's something dietary that serves as a trigger that sets off a cascade of symptoms leading to air hunger. Many others on here I know struggle with symptoms on a consistent and even daily basis. Definitely good that yours is not daily!
