Yeah, do check it out. I don't have breathing issues with exertion, I have them in general, so it may be a different kettle of fish. :)

I missed this. I'm the same, breathing problems all over, even without exertion.

The other thing that has helped significantly for me is Vitex agnus-castus for this problem. Again, I have lots of speculation about how/why, but it's only speculation. No other effects/side effects, though I think it's fair to say it helps my digestion a wee bit as well. This has made a bigger difference in my breathing than the baking soda thing. If I keep it up with the Vitex, about a gram twice a day every day, breathing issues don't surface in the first place.
