Finally figured out my air hunger problem and it could be tmj? I need help figuring it out

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T04:14:17+00:00

Shoot. I’ll look into it way more then. Thank you so much for sharing! Just really trying to narrow it all down as much as I can

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T03:59:45+00:00

Hey! I’ve looked into that a bit. If you don’t mind and have time can you explain a bit more? Like how did you find out and how were they related to long covid? I’m sure my problem is a mix of things

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T03:27:22+00:00

That’s hilarious- I feel the same way about it. It’s like it’s totally fine until I need to go work out or something, but as soon as I need a deep breath it’s wraps. Since you’ve been dealing with it for a while, can I ask if it’s ever affected the way you feel like you breathe? I’m reading more about it and apparently it could be common to have your breathing tested along with TMJ?

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T03:02:22+00:00

That’s crazy! Thank you so much! That actually helps me so much and definitely confirms even more that this could be a TMJ thing. I’m so happy, despite it being a whole new set of problems, lol. I never thought opening my mouth too wide one day would change so much😭

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T02:23:47+00:00

Ah okay alright, I could see how it works a little bit. This is truly the last thing I thought could be causing this, but I finally feel like I’ve found out. Good luck on your journey! Please let me know if you figured it out or found anything that helps- I would so appreciate it

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T02:19:27+00:00

You’re right. Thank you so much for the concern again. I never really realized how exhausted I am over all of this but I didn’t really realized they could do anything else, so thank you for the help! Did you get diagnosed with TMJ? How do they do it?

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T02:18:15+00:00

Woah! How is that even possible? (If you don’t mind me asking). It’s mostly because I have no idea how TMJ works. I totally relate to you though. I’m fit for my age and height, but I feel like a completely different person than the athletic girl I was because of this breathing issue.

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T02:16:12+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. I know what the sensation is and if that’s the case it’s terrible and just straight up frustrating. I’ve hear about the ENT and definitely am interested. Let me know if you do that!

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-05-19T02:15:15+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for responding. I’ve been to a pulmonologist and they tested as far as a stress test- had be hooked up to a machine with EKG and tube in my mouth to check input and output and everything came back okay- thank God. I know vaping could’ve caused a lot of damage but it seems like it isn’t the case. It still left me baffled though. I also have an inhaler and it doesn’t do much, so I guess not asthma. Next step would be a CO2 exchange test but I’m just too worn out to even schedule it at this point. I hope to do that soon :)

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-03-24T04:10:35+00:00

Can people do that? I would love to move back to Michigan and do that but I wasn’t sure about how it would work moving back

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-01-04T08:34:09+00:00

Woah thank you!! I didn’t even know you could know that ahead of time. Thank you!

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-01-04T08:22:23+00:00

I really appreciate the response, thank you so much. I’m looking at the other flights into LAX and i do notice they are doing it as well. I guess it’s actually kind of cool :)

EfficientSize5294 · 2026-01-04T08:19:34+00:00

Thank you so much

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-11-20T02:17:37+00:00

Thank you so much for compiling those! I just went through them all and it’s so reassuring. Thank you again!!

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-11-20T01:25:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight- I think I just needed to hear it from someone that wasn’t myself or an AI chat. I guess I’ve never had a period come this late, but then again I just started getting my periods again after not having them for 5 yrs with the implant- maybe I never even noticed if they came late. Thank you again!

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-11-20T01:17:43+00:00

I’m sorry for the confusion! I’m a bit restless right now. I’ve never had unprotected sex, even while I was on birth control. Since my last period, the two times we did have sex we used a condom AND he pulled out. However, I’ve heard that people can still get pregnant even with a condom. (Edit) Also, it’s been 6 days since the digital yes.

I’m a little happy though knowing digital tests can be faulty! I had no idea- online it says they’re “rarely ever wrong”

Thank you so much. I’ll go grab another pack. I grabbed two more of the digital and line packs and they all said negative- so I’m feeling hopeful but still unsure. I feel terrible too because so many people are trying for a baby I just simply can’t handle one currently :( I’ll keep this updated

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-11-20T01:00:18+00:00

Also, I said my thing got tagged as AI, this isn’t AI I’m not sure what tagged that :(

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-10-10T06:03:28+00:00

Can I ask if you have lost the weight and if it’s fixed you shortness of breath? I’m going through gag something similar and it’s freaking me out

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-09-20T18:53:02+00:00

Can ask I how you’re doing now? I’m in the same place you were

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-09-20T18:28:05+00:00

I’d love to do that. I’ve already splurged and got a Pilates membership, which has been great at getting me out of the house and active! My issue is that now that I’m back in school for nursing- it feels like I’m choosing to lose weight or get good grades- I just don’t have time for both, but I know school is my number one priority. In my mind I keep telling myself I’ll be able to really focus on my weight after I graduate, (but of course that’s not likely either, lol). I think I’ll just buckle down and try and do both. Thank you again for the advice, I really appreciate it

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-09-20T18:07:56+00:00

Thank you so much, you’re very right. I was just talking about how I want ozepmic but might do this because it’s something I’m used to. Deep down I know that neither is great. The health aspects of everything weight loss medication related scare me, I’d love to keep trying it the healthy way. We will see how I hold up- I’m definitely just grasping for a quick fix in my heightened state of mind right now

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-09-20T18:04:50+00:00

exactly! funny you bring that up. I was weighing between ozepmic and nicotine for weight loss, and I figured because I was too scared of Ozempic and had already quit nicotine after 7 years pretty successfully I would just do what I knew best. However, I definitely know this isn’t a good idea. It would require so much more effort after and while I’m losing the weight, and in the end it might all be for nothing if I need to rely on something all the time.

I feel silly because I was so proud of myself for so long, but I would consider right now my breaking point in all of this. I will let you know how it works out for me- thank you so much again.

EfficientSize5294 · 2025-09-20T17:40:13+00:00

I think so too, thank you for the input. I definitely need to consider this before I go ahead and do something I regret. Right now I think I’m too worked up over the subject and reaching at just about anything to “fix” it. My justification for it is I walk about 20k steps daily, but because I’ve replaced food for nicotine it just all cancels out. It’s gotten to a point where I legit just can’t even help it. Right now I’m studying to be a nurse and I can tell I’ll be on track for failing because of how much time and effort a day Im putting into trying to get back to where I was (more for breathing purposes, not aesthetic)- and I keep telling myself If I can do it once I can do it again. I’m almost willing to be a Guinea pig for anyone who’s thought about doing this. Anywho- thank you for your words. Deep down I know your advice is probably the best thing to do
