Question: since i have gastric problem & back & neck pain where by i find difficulty in breathing
Brief Answer:
Suggestive of acid reflux disease.
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
From the brief history given you seem to have acid reflux problem.
This occurs due to regurgitation of acidic food contents from the stomach into the esophagus ('food pipe') and the air ways resulting in heart burn and difficulty in breathing.
Kindly answer the following so as to analyze your condition properly.
1. For how long you have been suffering from this problem?
2. Do you get this pain before having food? or the food relieves the pain?
3. Does the neck pain radiate to the shoulder, arm or hand?
Awaiting your reply.

Hi & Welcome back.
Thanks for your reply.
The symptoms described in your query appear to be due to acid reflux problem.
Had I been your treating physician I would have advised the following:
1. Pantoprazole+Domperidone tablet one hour before breakfast once daily for 1-2 weeks.
2. Avoid oily and spicy foods, fast and junk foods, smoking, alcohol, etc.
3. Do not sleep immediately after having food, sleep at least 2 hours after having food.
3. Elevate the head end of your bed by 45 degree.
4. Do regular exercise and reduce your body weight if you are overweight.
5. Get examined by an Orthopedic surgeon for your radiating neck pain to rule out pinched nerve in the neck bones and its treatment thereafter.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful in getting rid of your problems.
Best wishes.
