What Causes Bloating And Gas In Chest Area After Taking Nexium?

Question: I have had blood tests and ultrasound, everything came back good. I started taking Nexium a month ago , I'm getting bloated and extreme gas that feels taped in my chest . it feels like I'm short of breath? could it be the Nexium or possibly a hiatal hernia?
Brief Answer:
Nexium not the cause, reflux or hiatal hernia to determine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms are not related to nexium use. Possible causes include reflux or hiatal hernia. Upper endoscopy is necessary to determine the final diagnosis.
For the moment, I advise to :
- avoid foods that would trigger gas like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.
- eat often and small portions
- take simethicone for bloating
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
Hope it was of help!
