Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi Gabe,
I have just enrolled in a Buteyko breathing re-training course after reading your feedback. It runs over a few weeks so hopefully I see some improvement from this.
Ultimately, doctors ran out of tests other than ENT who triaged me way down the list so this is where I landed.

Marcus I could’ve saved you the time and the money. You don’t accept it’s anxiety cause it feels so real. It is real, your brain is feeling like it’s suffocating like it can’t breathe properly etc. but the CAUSE is not real. The cause is adrenaline/cortisol in your body built up and pumped out everyday in the form of this symptom. The more you resist/care/try to rid your brain thinks huh this is a threat let’s make more fight/flight hormones and that’s how theres a loop that’s how you feel it 24/7 365 days. The only way it burns itself out is if you treat it unimportantly and live fully with it, your brain DOESN’T think it’s a threat so it doesn’t make more fight/flight hormones. Marcus you sound just like me. I gave buteyko 6 months of my time paid for lessons did calls. It doesn’t fix this it makes it worse. Like please everyone here who backs buteyko ask yourself this, as human beings hundreds of years ago who also experienced similar symptoms. Do you think they did buteyko to fix it? Do you think they reduced their sugars whatever whatever. No they did nothing. They accepted it sucked and lived on. That’s how you recover. This is a paradox people the more you try the worse you’ll get. You need to be brave let it hit you. Wish it worse and you’ll see it’s all false. You have to take responsibility that you’ve gone however much time with this not living fully wasting time and money. That’s why so many hold onto buteyko as their tool. They want to feel like they know the solution yet it’s a solution that wastes hour a day and they still have symptoms. If anyone doesn’t believe me please spare the little money buy this book “At Last a Life: Anxiety and Panic Free” and read it it’s not long. And you will have the biggest “ah” moment where you finally realise your struggle was due to your choice to struggle your actions to try rid. It’s the problem not the suffocation feelings. Marcus same offer for you if you want my help I can message you on Instagram to answer questions.
