Air hunger as main symptom

I got Lyme in June 2013 and initial 2 week doxy treatment as per the norm. A year later and after that I have had various symptoms for short periods at different times like dizziness, pains here and there, prostatis, short sleep, headaches but nothing major. The only symptom that is persistent and never fully goes away is air hunger. I have treated with abx twice (3 weeks and then 2 months) and Buhner for Lyme and Babesia ( I tested negative in 2014) in 2016 for a year and now I am on again since 4/2019. I have had night sweats for several days in 3/2019 and then for one night in 12/2019, so very random.
Doctors said in the past that Babesia should come with many other symptoms.
Now I have to take pills for high blood pressure (apparently had it for more than a year) - doctor says it causes the air hunger, could it be the opposite? I am already for many years on low carb paleo-ish diet, do not smoke or drink (apart from tinctures), physical activity can be increased, weight is normal. I do eat once per day though, kind of "warrior" diet, about 6-7 pm. But I have family history of HBP.
What causes air hunger as only symptom?

You listed a bunch of symptoms, including night sweats. So it looks like air hunger is NOT your only Babesia symptom. Is your doctor a LLMD?

Not to worry you, but has your heart been checked out? You mentioned high blood pressure, so perhaps your circulatory system is evaluated regularly. I'd definitely put my money on Babesia being your air hunger culprit here, but just in case, maybe rule out a cardiac cause for the sensation? Maybe get a pulse oximeter to make sure you're actually getting enough oxygen? (With Babesia air hunger, your oxygen probably would be fine, so the pulse oximeter could reassure you that you are okay. Saves my sanity when I have air hunger.)

SpO2 is 97-98%.
Cardio doc says EKG is normal, they call BP 90/140 normal in ER.
