Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?
Lung Health | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (3416)Comment receiving replies
Hello so I have having similar symptoms. I feel like I have to breathe in with my mouth and when I try I can’t seem to get full air or barely air at all. I have tightness in my chest and sometimes I can feel pain in my stomach area/diaphragm. I been to lung doctors, ent, and heart doctors. They all said everything seemed fine. Does anyone know if this may be gas or diaphragm related ? Has anyone had any solutions. Right now I can barely sleep and I can’t have this for the rest of my life because I look funny trying to take deep breaths with my mouth in public just to get some air

Hi @dainn, are you able to get full breaths at least every few breaths? How long have you been having these symptoms? Pain or tightness in the chest can be an indication of many things, and the air hunger or shortness of breath could also indicate something (hopefully) temporary.

Have a simple X-ray of your spine … perhaps there’s a pinched nerve. I had a herniated disc cussing my problems and once it was removed and a spacer was put in, I was fine …( after 91/2 years of being near me and searching for an answer at major hospitals in eastern U.S. and lots and lots of tests with no results. Good luck.
