Question: Hi
This is XXXXX, I am suffering from continuous burping and panic asthma attacks along with chest pain, this will worsen during nights when I was lying down for sleep, My wife tells me that after I slept and I don't have any burping this happens when I was waken, I have gone through all medical tests to avoid heart related problem 1 year back, ECG, 2D Echo, Thread Mill test and everything came clear and doctor has reffered me to Gastroentologist for GERD symptoms, when I saw gastroentologis first time they have taken the endoscopy for abdomen and it came with some minor gastritis (erosion) problem. Doctor has put me on Pentacid-L medication on empty stomach & Meva-C before meal 3 times a day. I was on this medication almost 10 months though I felt little comfortable but not major improvement, I have approached gastroentologist again, then he referred me for Endoscopy and 24 Hrs PH test. My Endoscopy report came with results severe gastritis &erosions and PH Test shows high reflux but no GERD. doctor has put me on the medicine Ganaton OD , Nexpro-40 on empty stomach and Rantac-150 in night before meal. I have been using this medicine from last 2 months but not much progress, I am having asthma attacks and able to take breath only after the burp and this episodes continuous for an hour and then goes. I also feel the symptoms like someone squeezing my heart & pinching and also chest tightness during this attack, it happens daily 5 to 6 episodes and worsens in the night. I don't know whom to approach for this as I am suffering from last 1 year and not sure if this will lead to some serious problem, I appreciate if you can advice for any medical treatment based on above symptoms.
