Thanks for your story. This stuff is complicated
I don't think it is a fluid problem, down 1# today still sob
best to you!

I also have shortness of breath. I can even get it from talking to much. Usually it is a sign that I might faint soon but I am constantly surprised how easily it happens. My cardi said he wanted me to drink 3 liters of water a day. I was not aware it helps with 'sob'.

Rob,

I too suffer from SOB and wish I could help. I have seen the specialist's such as Allergy, Pulmonologist, sleep study, heart cath's, Psychiatrist, physical therapy all prior to medication I take now. Still don't have an answer, but feel it has something to do with anxiety. Was sure it was from y years of smoking but it isn't. My problem is can't take a deep breath when I want to. Shallow breathing. Came on when I turned 66yo. I am 70 now. I was put on Chlorthalidone for hypertension. One month later my heart went into AFIB. Now I take Beta Blocker, blood thinner and proton pump inhibitor to prevent GI bleed. All I do is try to take it easy, exercise, maintain a healthy diet. Wish I could provide you with a better answer. Hope you find an answer soon

I quit drinking 16 years ago also have have had blockage exams
