If the beach helps, that could be because of the negative ions. You can buy negative ion generators, but I'm not sure how helpful they are for people really suffering. Is an air purifier helpful at all in reducing CIRS symptoms where you are living?

Do you have a pulse oximeter? Are your oxygen levels okay?

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this symptom. It's impossible to relax when you don't feel like you are getting enough air. I hope that you find relief soon!

I'm not sure I have Lyme yet but I get this symptom too and it's the worst. It just comes and goes randomly.

Just for clarification, it’s not air hunger I’m referring to, at least not in the traditional sense. It’s the feeling that my lungs don’t fully expand and I don’t breathe deeply unless I make a conscious and strained effort to do so. I suppose it could be related to air hunger, but to me it’s just the way I naturally breathe and always have.

I guess you’re right, Quin. The only way to stop it is to treat the infections. I’m not able to tolerate abx, so I treat with herbs. However, if I increase doses, it makes most symptoms worse instead of better.

have you tried an oxygen concentrator? I have this one and it works pretty good
