Hello All:
Came across this post while looking for solutions to my very similar condition. I get random SOB episodes that seem to mostly occur 1 - 2 hours after eating. The first one landed me in an ambulance going to the ER. Full on panic attack BP 220/110. By the time i was looked at all was better. This started about 5 years ago, I'm in my late 50's now. Never happens when I'm working out (treadmill and light weights). The only solution I have found is what others have mentioned. Slow down my breathing, almost to a stop. Do this for about 2-3 minutes and the SOB starts to subside. As others have mentioned I had full blood workups, stress test, halter monitor, EKG, heart imaging, endoscopy, was on famotadine for several years as they thought is was GERD, and chest xray's. No diagnosis except panic attack. I don't consider myself anxious but I am type A. So maybe that is catching up with me. The only real consistent trigger I have is after eating. However, it is nice to know I'm not alone. Mine is not as bad as some others have reported here but nonetheless annoying. The only real method to get to stop is the very intentional slow breathing or the long yawn where it seems to pause for a few seconds then wham all of a sudden a full breath occurs and it feels satisfying. Thanks for posting as i really thought i was alone in this. It is comforting to see how others are self-treating. hopefully a real diagnosis will be discovered one day.
