I had to check the author of this post because it was like I had written it! This is exactly how I describe my breathing problem to people.
I have been looking for an answer for about 9 months, now. One doctor said asthma. The asthma meds worked a little, but it just didn't make sense.
The breathing would be worse when I laid down. I literally had to sleep with my chest hanging over the arm of the recliner.
I wanted to rule out heart attack, (family history)so I went for a stress test and electrocardiogram. We found mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild regurgitation.
It seems this is common, but physically has nothing to do with shortness of breath.
There is a doctor whose wife and a lot of women, have a combo of MVP, shortness of breath, anxiety, and more. He believes it is all related somehow. This is called mitral valve prolapse SYNDROME.
It comes down to healthy living. I found that chemicals in cleaning and personal care products cause all sorts of problems, so, I just use non-toxic stuff. I reduce my stress with yoga, qi jong(spelling is wrong), personal improvement tapes.
So I don't know what it is, but actually feel that zuzu 8 is right there. I have always yawned, even when not tired. It was a problem with a relationship.
I know my oxygen isn't enough, or moving right or something. I will look more into that.
ZuZu 8, would explain how my periformus muscle tightens, and I get really bad sciatica?
Boy that may also explain many other things. I have a dr app't thursday, because my antideppressant and stay awake (Provigil) medicines aren't working any more. I know it's oxygen! Are you a doctor?
