Brief Answer:
Possibility of GERD related breathlessness is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

By your history and description, possibility of GERD related symptoms is more.
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.

Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of breathlessness, bloating, gaseous distention, chest tightness, pressure, heaviness etc.

So please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
2. Do you have burning epigastric pain?

Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.
Thanks.
