Definitely get an appointment with another doctor. A breathing specialist, even if it means going out of state (if that’s an option for you).
In the meantime, stop breathing in through your mouth. Only nose from now on. At all times. No mouth breathing. Maybe even consider taping your mouth shut at night. I’ve slept much better and breathe much easier since I started doing that. It sounds weird but there’s some evidence out there in favor of it for people with respiratory issues. Not a huge strip of tape covering your mouth, just a thin strip right up the middle of your lips to keep your mouth from falling open on its own.
Also you should consider getting this book and learning more about the science of the breath so you personally can understand this process your body is going through better. I hope links are ok here, haven’t posted on this sub much before.

Great post Sanjeev.

Hello buddies, I'm developing an app that aims to make breathing exercises for stress relief an interesting, interactive experience. I'd love to get some feedback from the community, if you're interested, so I can better figure out what people vibe with and what they want to see changed/improved in the app.
Full disclosure: I posted about this app beta yesterday to both r/IndieDev and r/TestFlight, but I'm not trying to spam it across a bunch of subs, I'm just hoping to get feedback from both the developer and breathing enthusiast communities.
If you're willing to give the beta version a shot, here are the links for iOS (via Apple TestFlight) and Android. Thanks!
