Suggest Treatment For Severe Shortness Of Breath In A Teenager

Likely to be due to GERD
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your son's problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. The stomach acid could have refluxed into the food pipe and could have led to the shortness of breath as well as stomach upset. In such a case EKG would be entirely normal.
In order to relieve hhimourself, you need to ask him do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Take Lanzol Junior tablet( lansoprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and playing or exercise for at 1 hour a day to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Yoga and meditation should help.
I have explained the possibilities and have delineated the solutions. I am sure that it will help you frame your queries for your doctor. You could discuss if there is anything else he would like to keep in consideration.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
