Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Anyone else suffer panic attacks from not being able to get a full deep breath and it just spirals? It's happened twice to me since my mysterious shortness of breath started 4 years ago. The second time just happened yesterday and I'm so incredibly frustrated with this condition. Noone knows what's wrong with me (us) and year after year the problem remains.

You might ask your dr to prescribe Zoloft. It has helped me for years.

I used to get panic attacks years ago when this first started for me as well. Finding ways to deal with symptoms and tell myself that I'm ok is what helped the occurrences of the panic attacks become less. Slow, nasal breathing and reduced breathing is what helped me breathe less in general, but also helped reduce the air hunger symptoms. Have you tried any coping strategies or breathing exercises?
