Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Shortness of breath can be due to a number of health issues. It can be caused by anemia, respiratory infection or disease, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and allergies.

Some advices that I can give you are:
• Practice abdominal breathing or deep breathing, diaphragmatic breathing.
• Black coffee can also help cure shortness of breath.
• If a respiratory problem is causing breathlessness then steam inhalation is a good option
• Consume ginger
• If your shortness of breath is due to anemia caused by iron deficiency, you can eat beetroot to improve your condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
