In this video, we’re going to talk about the interesting cause of air hunger. Another term for this is dyspnea or shortness of breath.

The typical reasons why you might not be able to breathe well are:
1. Asthma
2. COPD
3. Pneumonia
4. Tuberculosis
5. Anxiety
6. Allergies
7. Anemia
8. Gallbladder problems

The lesser-known cause of air hunger or shortness of breath is a problem with your pH level. If your pH level is too high or low, you can develop acidosis or alkalosis.

Acidosis symptoms:
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Tremors
• Sleepiness
• Coughing
• Shortness of breath

Alkalosis symptoms:
• Muscle weakness
• Pain
• Cramps
• Hypocalcemia
• Tetany
• Breathing issue (very rare)

The best remedies for acidosis include:
• Potassium
• Magnesium

The best remedies for alkalosis include:
• Apple cider vinegar
• Betaine hydrochloride

Keep in mind that poor pH levels can be brought on by many things. If you’re too alkaline, this can be because of poor stomach acid, high levels of cortisol, chronic stress, and low potassium. If you’re too acidic, the cause could be liver issues, extreme fasting, or consuming too much apple cider vinegar or kombucha tea.

Hypothyroidism can cause air hunger-dyspnea. My husband started having severe dyspnea. He was extensively tested at a major research medical center. Over one and half years and thousands of dollars spent...they totally missed testing him for low thyroid. They looked at everything but his endocrine system. So afterwards at our new family practice, their fabulous PA picked it up on his first routine visit. Hasn't had any difficulty breathing since on thyroid meds. Totally gone. Test your thyroid also! Love you Dr Berg!!

I have a dysregulated nervous system so this is what can cause even the acidosis and alkalosis. Mine is due to childhood trauma. My nervous system has been dysregulated all my life. I just never knew how bad until I got Covid over 3 years ago and symptoms became chronic and so SO very debilitating!! I am trying to heal from this. Found a therapist who specializes in Somatic Experiencing. It’s gonna be a long road but one that will help me to heal. So glad I found where I need to be! Grateful!
🙌🏻❤️

When people are anxious they tend to breathe "shallow" into the upper chest instead of the lower abdomen... I found it very helpful to focus on breathing into the lower abdomen... this will solve a lot of the stress related breathing...

Dc. Berg is better than 99% of md doctors because he preaches nutrition AND knowledge. Thank you.

I discovered many years ago that my shortness of breath came from dehydration. I thought I was asthmatic, but the doctor's always said no. They however never said I was dehydrated; I discovered that on my own.

Dr. Berg - I have a friend who told me that "air hunger" can also come from parasites in the lungs and that the parasites lay eggs and that is what causes breathing difficulties. He claims that is why he has the air hunger. He is very knowledgeable on health so I don't discount what he says. I would really like to know your take on this and if you know what can be done to handle it.

Liver disease, when swollen liver and the bloated abdomen that sometimes accompanies it limits abdominal capacity and breathing room

A large hiatal hernia can cause shortness of breath, air hunger, and feeling of fullness in chest and upper abdomen. It presses on the diaphragm and lungs.

Finally a solution to a problem I’ve dealt with for over 15 years!. Thank you, Dr Berg 🙏🏻

I started drinking mineral water before bed and then wondered why I couldn't sleep. I had no idea it was so acidic, AND I was adding acv to it! Dr Berg, why does acidosis stop you sleeping and can being more alkaline help me sleep better? Do you have any tips on how to make sure we're at optimum pH for sleeping?

Lyme disease and exposure to toxic mold from water damaged buildings also are major causes of air hunger
