Brief Answer:
you seem to have severe acidity with GERD
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM, you seem to have severe acidity with GERD and it sometimes takes up to 2 years of change in diet and lifestyle to bring relief.
Please go on a strict diet for acidity--small frequent meals. limited non vegetarian, no chocolates, colas, alcohol, smoking, tea, coffee. Go on a gradated exercise program(gradually increase intensity).
You can take a preparation of Itopride plus Omeprazole and Sucralfate for 6 months, besides your asthmatic treatment. It will definitely help. And it may not be a bad idea to try and identify some food intolerance/allergy.
Let me know if you've any further queries
Regards
