And if all that manages not to work, let me give you the answer to my own medical mystery when I started getting very short of breath and spent the next 8 months lying in bed and having (always clear) chest x-rays monthly: I was severely anemic. But since the shortness of breath was my most prominent symptom, no one checked. The nutritionist they sent me to (in desperation) called for a full iron workup (blood and ferritin levels) and finally figured it out.
