Difficulty breathing is not necessarily a problem with the lungs or heart.
Some people may suddenly experience difficulty breathing, feel like they can't get enough air, need to gasp for air, or yawn frequently, even affecting their sleep. On the surface, it may seem related to the lungs or heart, but if breathing is still difficult even without asthma, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, anemia, or heart problems, it may be a pattern of breathing difficulties that is "worse at rest and better during exercise."
Here are four possible reasons:

1. Silent acid reflux
Silent acid reflux refers to stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus without the traditional heartburn sensation. Sensory nerves in the esophageal mucosa may send "oxygen deficiency" signals to the brain, causing the body to increase its breathing rate. However, this can lead to low carbon dioxide levels, making it harder for oxygen to be absorbed by cells, thus creating the feeling of not being able to breathe.
You can use chlorophyll or wheatgrass juice powder on an empty stomach to help the esophagus gradually repair itself. If there is insufficient stomach acid, the upper stomach sphincter cannot close properly, making it easier for acid to reflux. Using appropriate amounts of Betaine Hydrochloride or diluted apple cider vinegar can help restore stomach acid concentration and allow the sphincter to return to its normal state.
II . Alkalosis
Insufficient stomach acid can make the body more alkaline overall, affecting blood pH and thus breathing patterns. This can also cause the feeling of "not being able to breathe".
If bile stasis occurs in the bile ducts, bile flow slows down, causing swelling of surrounding tissues, compressing the diaphragm and related nerves, and affecting respiratory rhythm. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid ( TUDCA ) can be taken on an empty stomach to help promote bile flow.
III. Restriction of rib and thoracic vertebral joints (related to costochondritis)
If the connection between the ribs and spine becomes restricted due to old injuries, falls, sports impacts, or prolonged poor posture, it can prevent the chest cavity from expanding properly, causing difficulty in deep breathing. Even if there is significant chest pain, the real problem often lies in the back joints.
The mobility of the ribs and spine can be improved through thoracic spine rotation and extension, chest expansion exercises, and thoracic spine mobility tools.
IV. Long-term sequelae of COVID-19
If breathing difficulties occur after COVID-19 infection, higher doses of vitamin B1 can help the brain's respiratory regulation center and improve breathing problems.

Conclusion:
Difficulty breathing does not necessarily stem from lung or heart disease; it may also be related to stomach acid, bile flow, limited movement of the thoracic spine and ribs, or post-COVID-19 neuromodulation. Addressing and repairing the root cause can potentially improve the feeling of "not being able to breathe," allowing breathing to become natural again.
