Brief Answer:
GERD, Take the treatment as mentioned with life style changes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the short information provided by you it appears to be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Difficulty breathing is one of the more frightening symptoms of acid reflux or the chronic form of the condition, gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter, there is a return of the stomach's contents back up into the esophagus. When gastric acid reaches the vocal folds, airways, it can cause a swelling of the passages which can lead to difficulty in breathing.
I advice you to Eat smaller, more frequent meals to avoid eating too much in one sitting.Avoid spicy food, smoking and drinking. Lose weight if you are obese. Raise the head of your bed by four to eight inches. This allows gravity to help keep your stomach’s contents where they belong. Eat meals at least two to three hours before lying down on the couch or bed, and avoid bedtime snacks.
You can take over the counter acid reducing medicines as mentioned to you earlier by the doctor.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
GERD, Take the treatment as mentioned with life style changes.
