Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I’m more tight in the chest. Can get a breath of air every few breathes in. But never feels like a full breath. Air hunger helps when yawning. I do have back pain lower and upper. I feel like my upper abs sometimes blocks me from getting air too. Not sure

Have doctors checked for physical impairments internally- did they do x-rays and such? It sounds like there may be some injury or something physical that is keeping your diaphragm from fully expanding, or structurally with your ribs. I wonder if x-rays would reveal anything.

Are you aware of having been injured in your ribs doing something recently?
