Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

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!

I am VERY fortunate, yes. Just as things could always be better they can also always be worse.
I’m exploring dietary changes, starting with cutting out dairy. I’m also going to look into the alternative for a CPAP (Inspire). I don’t mind using the CPAP at all, but I do believe that it is causing issues with my esophageal sphincter.
Since this began 30 years ago but has steadily worsened in the last few years I think that diet would only be a factor if something has changed physiologically. I’m betting on either a hernia or reflux. It’s a direction, though. I didn’t even have that until finding this forum, so thank you so much for sharing your experience!
