Shortness of Breath
The breathless feeling and feverishness after cold exposure sound discouraging!
Do you have any other health issues? Cold sensitivity can be a symptoms of low thyroid.
Sometimes cold intolerance can be caused by a diet that is too low in fat. If you eat a very low fat diet, adding in some extra virgin coconut oil to your diet may help. (It may help even if you are on a regular fat diet! )
Have you tried cayenne pepper to warm you up when you go out in the cold? Before or after you are out in the cold you could try the following:
- 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (or a splash of Tabasco sauce)
- 6 ounces hot water
I love this drink to warm me up and help circulation. And it is a lovely warm tonic for every day in the winter, as far as I am concerned.
Have you tried Bill Munroe's hydrogen peroxide inhalation method for your shortness of breath? It is the first thing I would consider for myself.
Finally, when in doubt, a daily serving of kefir and nettle tea are two broad spectrum remedies that can be of help to a variety of general health difficulties.
I hope you feel better soon!

Hydrogen Peroxide, Raw Honey

All I know is that after first sprays in throat, and inhaling 50/50water puddle drips off hand through nose and spitting out.. My breathing has never been better. I sensed I could smell more as well.
I will try drinking. What about pouring in vicks inhaler and inhaling the evaporated steam?
Another thing I noticed on how I reached this website, I recently started eating a lot of raw honey. By the spoonful, I was experimenting with heavy breathing and coughing out tar and crap. After my first week of eating honey. I woke up one morning, way early then before, and all of a sudden I wanted to go running. I have been a cig and mj smoker for a good 7 years. I hate running, but I got up and ran 2 miles. It was the best feeling ever.
I then read on here that when honey touches the skin it creates hydrogen peroxide. So eating it must be very beneficial ~ since it made me, a smoker, want to run. Yes, I coughed up nastyness and it felt good. It felt good I was motivated to do this.
Living in Seattle, WA.. I believe this technique also battles depression, because I feel great.. And I know for a fact I was depressed, but did not want to take any medication. Honey and Hydrogen Peroxide have been the best to restore health.
Mullein leaf should work well. We use it for lung issues with success.

Multiple Supplements
★★★★★
I have had severe problems with w/ breathing problems for years. Very deep drops in my peak flows - quite often at 100 or lower. I have now been on a regiman of supplements for about two months now. The results have been encouraging - instead of being on a coaster like the American Eagle it is more like being on a baby coaster. Still ups and down but not nearly as severe. I have been able to decrease my dose of theophylline from 800 mg per day to 600 per day by taking the following combination:
1 packet vitamin c powder - 1000 mg
500 mg niacin (flushing type so it doesn't compound in your system and actually flushes out of your system as too much niacin can have dangerous side effects)
600 mh n- acetyl cystiene
1000 mg lecithin
1 tsp msm powder added to vitamin c powder drinl
1 tbsp ACV in with the vitamin c drink mix
b-12 supplementation to counteract the depletion of b-12 caused by theophylline use
This regiman has increased my ability to exercise and I have having deep REM sleep, which had been a problem in the past with the 800 mg of theophylline and its stimulant effect.
I also use either albuterol in the nebulizer yet, but at night I actually use basil water hydrosol in the nebulizer, or in the daytime rosemary water hydrosol for less severe attacks. (the basil component is a sleep aid also - the rosemary is not depressive, so both must be used with caution. I have had no problems with either, and both have a expectorant effect in breaking up the phlegm that causes much of the breathing problem.)
At this point, skipping the theophylline has not been an option to me, but I thankfully am not having to take any steroids for treatment, either by pill of by inhalation.

Shortness of breath issue...
A number of possibilities.
If you are a little older like me (65) it is necessary to use anaerobic exercise (sprints) to expand the lungs to ward off gradual atrophy of the lungs. This is called the HIIT approach to lung/heart and leg function. As we age, the lungs begin atrophying...less and less capacity. One way to reverse that or keep it from happening is by using an approach that forces the lunges to be used. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) uses this idea. Suppose you are using an elliptical devise for aerobic exercise. That means you are peddling at a rate that lets you go at a pace that does not "wind" you. That is good but not "anaerobic" which is a sprint and does make you get out of breath in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. I do three 30 second sprints inside my aerobic workout...two times a week at least. An older person should start gradually; maybe the sprint only last 10 seconds before becoming winded. Fine. Do what you can do. You'll likely find that you can increase your sprint time for a few weeks.
That technique alone can help with shortness of breath if the underlying problem is lung capacity related.
However, it might be more than lung capacity.
There might be a heart issue involved and I am presuming that you have checked out heart blockage issues and that obvious possibility is not the source.
But lack of natural (not synthetic) vitamin E can lead to shortness of breath. E is an oxygenator.
Vitamin E deliver oxygen to muscles...and the heart is a muscle. Also E can reduce plaque formation. I take 800 IUs daily of E. Use only natural E...D Alpha Tocopherol...not DL which is synthetic. The "L" means it is synthetic. Drug stores always sell the synthetic.
I also take magnesium, 500 mg daily and zinc and selenium. The amino acid Arginine is also a help. I take that in crystal form and dissolve in water...giving nitric oxide to the system. Arginine like E has dozens on benefits. Hawthorne is an herb known to help the heart.
I do the entire program...sprints plus nutritional. I think it is all quite important.
Oh, one last thing. If I find myself overweight by too much...then the excess weight can also cause shortness of breath.

I get my Mullein Leaf by the pound from Mountain Rose Herbs. Many health food store or natural grocery stores may carry it as well. (In a tea bag.)
Here is how to make a good tea from the Mullein Leaf:
How to brew the perfect cup of tea
When I am making an herbal tea to help with a health issue, I take 2-3 cups of it a day. Start with a just a cup or less at first to make sure it suits you. I add peppermint to my mullein tea, since I like mint. But plain Mullein does not have an unpleasant taste. I like to sweeten it with honey.

Apple Cider Vinegar
I too have had problems with supposed acid reflux. I've tried prescription strength proton pump inhibitors. The problem most people will fall into is that they have so little stomach acid that the capsules won't even dissolve completely because of the coating. Super generic uncoated tablets off the shelf work best, but ACV is probably the best bet if done in moderation. I'm not quite sure what the residule effects on the lining of the esophagus would be, but I have used it as well and yes I do notice the difference in breathing. I have read about a baterium called Heliobactor or H. Pylori. It is a bacteria, from what I read, that most everyone has in there stomach. Appearently it can get out of control and actually cause inflammation of the stomach lining and also lesson the amount of stomach acid that is produced. They have medications for this, but I also have read about mastic gum, which supposedly is very effective on this bacteria. I'm thinking about giving it a try.

Look into chlorine dioxide and also drink 8 x 8oz glasses of water per say minimum, take a few crystals of salt on your tongue to dissolve before you have the water.
