Brief Answer:
We need to rule out asthma first.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Breathing problems during food intake and while stressed is commonly seen with asthma.
Asthma is actually triggered by these factors like stress, food, allergen exposure, lung infection etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
If you are having gastritis then proton pump inhibitors on empty stomach will be helpful.
If you are having stressful life then proper stress management and counseling by psychiatrist are needed.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
You should take combination of of PPI and prokinetic drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bloating of stomach, heavy gastritis etc are suggestive of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
And this can cause breathing difficulty.
So you should take combination of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) (pantoprazole, rabeprazole) and prokinetic drugs (levosulperide) twice daily before food. Along with this, you should avoid large meals, hot and spicy food.
Eat high fiber diet. Go for walking after meals.
With all these your bloating and stomach problem will be solved.
What about stress and allergies?
Do you have them?
