Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Well, I believe I may have cracked the case. Here is an article on having tight psoas muscles and their effect on breathing and other functions in the body and how to strengthen and stretch them! My symptoms started around the same time as having issues with my pelvis being out of alignment. This may be a very simple solution!

@penny52, thank you very much for sharing. This is exactly what this forum encourages, so much appreciated. I am glad that you have cracked the case for yourself. It's always a wonderful thing to hear people come back and give good news about any kind of improvement or solving their issue. And then when you share it, you're giving many others the opportunity to look into the information to see if it would help in any way.

thanks for posting. I have also noticed that my chest tighness on breathing also depends on my position. In bed I don't have an issue especially is I am laying stomach down. When standing and on the treadmill then I notice chest stiffness etc. on heavier breathing.
Comes down to isolating the causes such as lung capacity, damaged ribs/nerves/ligaments and scar tissue from surgery or heart issues.
