Until I'm able to see a real LLMD, can anyone give me some tips and any natural/herbal treatments for air hunger. Don't know if it's from or co's, but I feel I need to take something. Right now, I'm only taking a Vitamin B Complex and Magnesium.

Thanks,
Beeperoni

Oh man I have had that for like a week straight once. I have asthma inhaler's but they didn't help. I actually tried breathing techniques from Youtube, there is one specifically for Air Hunger called the Buteyko Breathing method. I know it is not a prescription but maybe you could try it and see if it helps you any.

How long until you see an LLMD? Air hunger is classic babesia so you could try and herb or two to start eh healing process. Cryptolepis and Sida Acuta seem to work very well against it. If you decide to go that route start slow. Not knowing your bug load you'd want to start one at a time and move up a few drops at a time to see reaction. Others might have suggestions but I know these 2 herbs seem to have a good track record of helping babesia infected folks like me.

I have had the air hunger and on/off chest tightness for months...some days are worse than others. It started after an extreme cold/sinus infection, and never went away. I have tried breathing techniques and inhalers, none of which have seemed to have helped.

Air hunger is horrible - I had it as a herx on Babesia herbs. I also had it when my thyroid was crazy low.

I decided to check Buhner's site to see if he had any suggestions and found this:

UGH thank you for posting, I HATE air hunger. I laughed out loud in yoga when they're all, 'just deepen your breath...' I'm like, I WISH!! It's with me at all times. I constantly have my mouth hanging open, trying to get a breath!

Hi Raincity,

I like that..."just take deepen breath", lol.

People say that that to me also, and it makes me want to slap them, ha-ha. My oxygen is always in the good, I just can't seem to take that deep breath unless I force myself to yawn (which doesn't always work).
