In this video, we’re going to talk about shortness of breath. Aside from the most common causes, there may be some hidden issues that cause shortness of breath. Take a look.
1. Vitamin B1 deficiency - Many people have a vitamin B1 deficiency. This can affect the vascular and nervous systems. Refined carbs and sugars can contribute to your vitamin B1 deficiency. Diabetes, alcohol, and too much exercise can cause lactic acidosis, a condition that is heavily influenced by vitamin B1. This situation can cause shortness of breath.
2. Acidosis - If your body is far too acidic, this can affect your breathing.
3. Alkalosis - If your body is far too alkaline, this can affect your breathing. High-carb diets, too many carbs, and high calcium can cause this issue.
4. Low calcium - Low calcium in your blood may cause difficulty breathing.
5. Asthma - Asthma is a common condition that can cause difficulty breathing. Vitamin D is important for asthma symptoms.
6. Pneumonia - A viral or bacterial infection in the lungs can cause difficulty breathing. Zinc is important for pneumonia.
7. COPD - Vitamin C and vitamin E are vital to lowering lung inflammation and inhibiting fibrosis in your lungs.

Thanks for watching. I hope this helped clear up some of the lesser-known causes of shortness of breath. I’ll see you in the next video.
Honorable mentions of shortness of breath:
1. Dehydration
2. Iron Deficiency
3. Working or Exercising in High Humidity and/or Winter Weather
4. Seasonal Allergies without Asthma
5. Insufficient Sleep
6. Anxiety
Also GERD
But if my shortness of breath is preventing me from sleeping, I can't break free? I've been dealing with this for 2 weeks now and even went to the hospital but everything checked out but they didn't check my vitamin b or d levels. I started taking b vitamins, d, c, e for a couple days now with minimal improvement. Also my throat gets tight before I go to bed as well which I assume is anxiety from being nervous about my shortness of breath. The shortness of breath and throat tightness leads me to only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at night, but I can also take a 2-3 hour nap later in the day but I still have dark circles around my eyes and feel exhausted. During the night I often wake up to the feeling like im choking due to the throat tightness and feel numbess through my body so I have to sit down and take my short breaths until it goes away and I don't feel relaxed enough to sleep until the sun comes up.
@@Username4453 If you have vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), your vocal cords don’t open all the way when you breathe in. This blocks your airways, and you may struggle to breathe. VCD is often misdiagnosed as asthma, which has similar symptoms.
@@CelestialTrailblazer I had a CT scan and the only thing it showed was hyperinflated lungs with no signs of abnormalities. The neck tightness comes and goes and kicks into high gear at night it.
I forgot to mention I also have a large 12x15mm pineal gland cyst which came up on the MRI, it's said they are benign but can cause neurological problems if they get too big. I put off surgery because I need better insurance and life insurance before I do that and I want to be 1000% sure thats the problem before I get my skull cut open.
@@Username4453 That's terrible. It's so scary that something can just completely ruin someone's life so quickly. I hope things get better for you. I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse), Mitral regurgitation, Mild tricuspid regurgitation, Chest pain, Shortness of breath, Palpitations, GERD, Intestinal Metaplasia of Gastric cardia, Positive for asthma based on the pulmonary function test. Even though the doctor denies or confused about me having any asthma. I also have multiple pulmonary lung nodules based on the Chest CT which is like a cherry on top lol. Too many problems that I can't simply ignore. And I'm only 27 years old. No one in their 20's should be having heart or lung issues but I guess I'm just not so lucky. My cardiologist and my neurologist thinks Anxiety disorder is the cause for all my symptoms even though I clearly have problems in both my heart and lungs. My breathing issue started last year end of April as I was carrying heavy Poland Spring water cases while wearing double masks due to fear of catching cov!d. If I remember correctly, I was labor breathing and then I accidently took a really hard deep breath because I was exhausted and was out of breath carrying those heavy water cases while wearing double masks and running back and forth between the car and the front porch of my home.
From then on I started to notice I can't take deep satisfactory breaths. I started to develop this urge to take deep breath to satisfy my air hunger. It felt like only 10% of air going in my lungs and 90% getting blocked by something.
The only time I could take that deep satisfying breath was when my body is ready to take it. For me what I've noticed was that I have to wait 1 minute or 40 seconds and then I can take that deep breath. Otherwise, no matter how hard I try before that timeframe, It feels like the air gets blocked midway and unable to fill in the lungs.
One other reason which is not physical but worth mentioning is anxiety and panic attacks. I’ve experienced this many times in my life. Stress can bring it on at times for me as well. This all causes a vicious cycle because the anxiety causes the feeling that you aren’t breathing right then you become more anxious and stressed then breathing sensation continues to feel worse. Snowball effect.
Hello so can shortness of breath be Caused by anxiety or panic attacks?
@@theaguilarfamily1236 Yep. After contracting Covid I woke up unable to breathe and barely walk, I stumbled to my bathroom and just sat with my back against the wall trying to catch my breath. Took like 10 minutes of intense breathing to catch it and during that 10 mins I pissed myself.. My lungs are fine now but sometimes my brain will convince itself that the same situation is happening and I will pee myself a little bit before just forcing myself to take giant breahts and filling my body with oxygen. Also meditation has helped a lot.
Just be aware of doctors telling you its all anxiety causing symptoms. In the medical field, they are taught to blame everything on anxiety after they fail to discover the root problem. I've been suffering from all sorts of problems such as shortness of breath, abnormal high pulse rate from slight exertion, dizziness, chest pains etc. for almost a year. Everything was blamed on anxiety and the doctors didn't even bother trying to look for the source of anxiety until I personally had to look into things myself and had to do specific tests to attempt at trying discover the root problem. After I did my chest CT, I discovered that I have multiple pulmonary lung nodules. After I did Endoscopy, I discovered chronic gastritis, Intestinal Metaplasia at the GE junction, and H.Pylori bacteria in my stomach. After I did the 14 day Holter Monitor examination of my Heart rate I discovered anomalies. All of these results are giving me clues about the source of all my symptoms including anxiety. What've learned after visiting multiple doctors is that when they do an initial checkup and fail to discover the problem they blame it on anxiety and gives you anxiety meds. They generally don't care about further investigation. You essentially have to do the investigation yourself. Otherwise, you'll be left with bunch of toxic anxiety/depression meds to take that may or may not get rid of the problem or simply mask a few symptoms temporarily. For me those anxiety meds only made things worse. Especially, my shortness of breath. After, the result of my CT scan of my chest revealed that I have multiple pulmonary nodules, I began to connect the dots and realized that my problem isn't just anxiety or anxiety causing my symptoms but its the other way around. Now, I wished it was just anxiety but unfortunately I have more deadly disease to worry about. All I can say from my experience is that the doctors can misdiagnose you and they're not always correct in their initial diagnosis.
@@CelestialTrailblazer bro if you're complaining about breathing issues they'll give you a chest ct just like that. Idk what 3rd world doctor you went to, but all of my anxiety symptoms have been looked into each and every time
@@yungenvy436 Well, I live in NYC so the hospitals here are not up to the standards compared to the rest of the country. Also, the racism aspect is also a big factor in getting proper medical care here. When I first went to the ER first time complaining about my shortness of breath and abnormally high pulse rate of 150bpm, before even looking into my blood report or chest x-ray some random dude came in and told me its all anxiety and refused to listen to my side of the story. And then they simply sent me home. Later, when I went home and examined my blood report, I did see abnormal changes in my CPK levels, Neutrophils and Lymphocytes. Although, the chest x-ray didn't exactly show much abnormality other than mild hyperinflated lungs, I knew my lungs aren't working properly. So, I took the initiative and went to a pulmonologist and did a CT scan and discovered I have multiple pulmonary lung nodules. Then I did some research as to why these weren't detected from the chest x-ray. I discovered that chest x-rays can not detect a lot of things compared to a CT scan. I also did the pulmonary function test and discovered that I have almost half lung capacity.
Don't forget Anemia / Low iron or ferritin ! I've lived my whole life battling this. It makes breathing very difficult. It becomes difficult to finish a sentence, or to go upstairs, or walk etc.
Yes! I am battling this now and was wondering why it wasn’t on the list!
Me at the moment , what is it not on the list. My iron is severely low..
@@brandirienecker8988 as an effect of b1 deficiency I guess
You have folate and or copper deficit
@@cosmichealth3907 I have folate
B1 life saver. Also knocks out random crazy thoughts. Ty Doc
Random thoughts? like for someone wit ocd u mean?

Hi did you take any of his recommended products and if yes, which ones.
You just summarised me perfectly haha.
Thank you, Dr Berg. You're the only one who has the answers.
Very glad to be of help.
Keep up the good work, and I truly mean it. I trust you more than my own doctor !!!
It's amazing that remedies to lots of things are purely just boosting vitamin intake, whereas the actual remedies are more along the lines of prescription drugs.
Thanks a lot Dr Berg for the great video and for the advice, information and tips. 😊👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve been lifting and drinking more this past year and I’ve noticed myself being short of breath this might be the case thanks doc
Thankyou Dr Berg.. God bless
Thank you so much. This is proof that I knew it is something and not just age kicking in. Thank you again!
I will just have to live with it . To many things to fix on my limited budget . I love all you teach Dr Berg. GOD BLESS YOU and your family and business.
Fasting is the best and it doesn’t cost anything
You don’t have to live with anything. You are a believer so the same spirit that raised Jesus from the grave is the same spirit that lives in you
I think this was very informative for me.
I thought of two more.. anxiety and wearing a mask
Are you about to tell us about Bill Gates?
God Bless You Dr. BERG

Amazing! Thank You Dr. Berg.
You are welcome!
🙏 Thank you so much Doctor Berg.
You need to do a video on pulmonary embolism survivors and Keto!
So, I refuse to believe YOU have a cold. What I’m hearing has to be the way this audio is recorded. You’ve got to be THE most healthy human being I watch on TH-cam! Love ya Dr. Berg! Keep us healthy! 👏👏😆🥓🍳
I thought his voice sounded like he had a cold, too. His cadence is slower, I thought the speed of the playback was off but it's set at normal.
Another helpful video, Dr. Berg. Thank you! I can't tell you how many times I have referred my shop customers to you to understand their issues better.
So what remedy did you do?
Well done on passing 4K subscribers. You are an amazing person to do this freely. Thank you so much 🤗🌟
4M
High cortisol from stress and anxiety. Yes. Gut health too.
Your new mic 🎤🤠 makes your voice deeper. Etiher one is fine but I think we're all used to your regular voice which seems to have a more positive tone. Still the best. ❤️💯👍😁 edit ( you still sound positive though☝️)
Thank you Doctor Berg. Nice video.
your welcome
I dont have copd anymore😉
Breath fresh air,take B complex.B1 in it. No cook out any more. Air out my house. Open widow went cooking.
Open car widow went driving.Thank God Grace and Mercy 🤗❗
How much B1 do you take or did you take?
Because of previous videos of yours. .I now take B1 and nutritional yeast flakes and WOW what a difference!!!! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
What brand of b1 do u use?
How do you take the nut. yeast?
@@CeeJayKay try Bragg's nutritional yeast. It comes in flakes and tastes like cheese thb. It's delicious sprinkled on scrambled eggs, chili, salads... anything you'd put cheese on. I love the stuff!
Yoy are a Saint for me Dr. Berg...thank you for sharing your knowledge...😘
Enjoyed the video very much. I guess the thumbs down were people who could breathe well.
Thank you Dr Berg. 😊
Fantastic! Wondering why you didn't mention thyroid or adrenal issues..seems to be related for me.
We learned from you that Potassium allows you to take deep breath, When I started to take potassium citrate I can breath deeply NOT only this..after I drink it I feel the "tick" in my nose same as what happen after you drink lemon juice and you get good amount from vitamin C..this is really Amazing info from the amazing Dr. Berg!!
So much information from him he’s amazing. Do you supplement for your dosage of potassium or what foods do you have regular ?
@@gooseuk1985 I started supplementing..After drinking the supplement I get this feeling, So now after eating high potassium food like nuts and then get this feeling I know it is the potassium not vitamin C
@@spiderm83 great info. My mother cannot breath that well so the info is great thank you. Will look at supplements route for my mother
True! I drink coconut WATER which is good.✊make u pee,pee. Good 4 B/P also.
Buy the one with low suger.
Beetroot juice high in surger
. But high in POTASSIUM 700.
Much deeper voice....I like it
Dr. Berg
I literally had this happen to me last night. Thank you for covering this. You are the best! 10 thumbs up for this one. I am constantly struggling with this and I always have thought maybe it had to do with too much acid in my body. You just confirmed 👍. Thank you Thank you
Do you take apple cider vinegar?
Yeah I been having a lot of issues thanks for this insight.
What about “yawn” I can’t yawn always. I feel the need but not always can do
@@yigithanyamaner4848 Air hunger.
Is crazy because I could not sleep today and searched “Dr. Berg cannot get enough air” and surprisingly he uploaded this video 6 hours ago. Is like this video was synergistic to my problem 😂😂
He always does that
@@rajsrivastav6940 he probably spying on us
@@erickgarcia3947 hahahaha
I think he’s also a psychic 😄
Did the Vitamin B help?
Dr. Berg could you please do a video on the different types of B1 such as ttyd and which forms are most easily absorbed and used by the body?
3 types. Thiamine hcl water soluable. Bentofine fat soluable but doesn't cross BBB. The best is ttfd allithiamine fat soluable crosses BBB. Study's show around 300mg a day of ttfd. Thiamine hcl you would need 10x as much so 1300mg.
It’s so interesting .. ur courses are always loaded with healthy information... thank you so much for all ur efforts .. recently we see more ppl suffering from shortness birthing and high temperature .. doctors linked always with Cov19 .. the question that I wanna ask is why the temperature is so high and always for along time!?
This helped me determine that I’m too alkaline. I’ve a lot of health issues because of this.
Thankyou for sharing this video 🙏 What would be a good step forward in helping figure out the cause if your unsure like myself?
God bless Dr BERG
Thank You Dr Berg!
Right after seeing your last video on coffee, I cut my consumption in half, with no withdrawal symptoms...I will try and cut from 2 to 1 cups now...
Next, I need to cut my smoking habit (much harder ;) from three rolled ones to one...
(I don't have shortness of breath though, perhaps due to my vit B intake)
Thank you... I've also found that low iron can cause labored breathing
The genius speaks again 😁😁
Hello Dr.Berg i hope you are good!
I have an off topic question regarding cod liver oil, i suffered from acne years ago and took accutane for about a year and half. Its been almost 3 years since so i was wondering is it safe for me to take cod liver oil because of the high amounts of vitamin?
I hope you read this comment
Great informations my beloved mother died of short breathing . Thanks
Dr Berg, can you please give us some information about Hashimoto disease, thank you so much!!
Thank you Dr Berg but please can you do more videos for plantbased/vegan people?
Can you do a video explaining why cialis is prescribed for pulmonary hypertension & how it works on the lungs? Thanks
Thank you dear doc
thats it , he reads minds
i needed this
idk .. i cant
I am very surprised this channel has never mentioned the benefits of the Wim Hof breathing technique. Wim Hof seems to be in line with so many things that Dr. Berg believes
Phil hi,
He has a video were he talks about the good benefits of that. 😊
Thank you ❤️ all the info !
😃💜We like your new hallway background🙂
Well this vid came at the right time. I am awake at 4am bc my husband is having trouble getting his breath. 1st time this has ever happened to him
Great work Dr B.... By the way did you bleach your eyebrows?!
Thanks dr. Berg ❤🌹
You're welcome!
Thank you Dr berg
You are welcome!
Very helpful
Very glad to be of help :)
This is a great video. 💜 🙏
Anemia and or low iron can cause shortness of breath do to the lack of low oxygen and the hemoglobin transportation of that oxygen. 😉😉
Dr. Berg, what wluld be your Suggestion for problems from the knees down like muscle Cramps and problems with breathing When walking up Hills. Thank you
Non-alcoholic beer is a good source of vitamin B1, im lucky to have this available where I live, it's not organic but they don't spray glyphosate excessively in this country (all manual farming)
Where r u located? What’s the beer called?
I’m alkalosis. I did a foot detox once and the lady said she’s never seen anyone so alkaline she had to keep adding salt to balance the water. I have the twitch and asthma. I think it’s the low potassium and I do love dairy.
Thank you . I needed ACV.
Sure. Get Fairchild's ACV.
Thank you for the introduction! @@Drberg
Thank you!!💝
You are so welcome
wondering how much sugar can affect this because of inflammation - man i need to change my diet - keep getting respiratory issues and am a singer for my livelihood - my dad had a rare form of copd that apparently is genetic and now I'm having re-occuring respiratory problems at 40 but do believe in divine healing too as a Christian so I'm doing my best to apply my faith and speak, think and believe for healing but I probably need to be responsible with what goes in my body too - my dad didn't smoke but he also didn't eat healthy and was often fatigued like me - gotta quit putting nesquick in my coffee/eating so many processed foods! :| Blessings and healing to all in every way possible!
Thank you Dr 🙏🏿
My pleasure
Excellent advice and information 🙏🏻
I am not sure what is happening right now. Its 2 am I woke up with dry throat and and felt dizzy. My heart started to palpitate and I kept drinking water and did the exercise for vertigo and also took two drops of oil of oregano. Dry throat has improved. Keeping positive mind helps a lot. Watching these videos also.
U have Reflux and digestion issues.. ..
I also started to notice that I will get a shortness of breath right before having hot flashes due to menopause. Do you have any ideas about why?
I was in the middle of the California fires and suffered smoke inhalation to the point of siezures. Any ideas how to be able to breathe again? I'm congested and on an anti-inflammatory diet and supplements
Dr Berg- what’s a good B1 dosage for a 43 yo male, 188 pounds- also any recommendations on the brand?
Just bought your vitamin d and K2 how many capsules do I have to take to get what's on the back of the bottle!!! Says you can take up to four!!! THANKS!!!
i solved my acidic ph air hunger problem by squeezing a whole lemon or lime in water on fasting days, then sipping a tall glass of another whole lemon over the day. For non-fasting days, i drink one lemon while i have liver/other proteins and it also prevents gout flareups. i swear by lemons/limes for the big quality of life increase. i was limping and couldnt really exercise without feeling 40 years older without them.
Good morning! Yes and thank you but how long should you take the mentioned vitamins? I appreciate all the information you put out there!
I don’t know the answer to your question. Vitamin B1 helps a lot of illnesses. I’ve been taking it for a slight dizziness. I got dizzy when I got up too fast from a squat position. My blood doesn’t rise fast enough which causes me a a slight dizziness. Anyway I’ve been taking vit B1 for over a year now.
You can add it to your daily vitamin in take.
@@manny7886 ok it makes sense now. When I do regular slow squats at home I don’t have that problem. However, when I’m doing the faster squats standing up against a pole or table that’s when I get the rush and get dizzy. Thanks so much for information🤗
@@Drberg ok thanks Dr. Berg for replying!
Thanks dr Eric
You're very welcome!
One thing I want to ask you is that if a person is anemic, he can also experience shortness of breath, but you haven't mentioned that. Can it also be a cause or not? Well, thanks for the information Dr.
You r right......that's a major ferritin deficiency
I was iron deficient when I developed celiac disease and had chronic shortness of breath, dizziness, and muscle weakness until I went on supplements.
Yes you are correct. Anemia does cause shortness of breath. Magnesium deficiency also causes shortness of breath too
It does .. I used to be anemic I was short of breath easily
It does .. I used to be anemic I was short of breath easily
Dr berg, the link you have left in the description for the B1 video doesn't work, it takes me to a private video which we can't view
I ‘v this problem. This video is useful for me .
Thank you!
You're welcome!
This was very helpful 👍😊. I just started a no carb diet and have noticed a fairly good amount of shortness of breath. I can exercise just fine but little movements around the house cause me to feel like I've had the wind knocked out of me. Maybe that's a withdrawal?? 🤔🤔
I’m going through that nnits scary
