Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear you may be suffering from GERD with hiatus hernia. But hiatus hernia can cause reflux of acid into breathing tube may cause dysnea, or hiatus hernia patients are mostly obese may have thick epicardial pad of fat may be the cause for dysnea.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine, eat small quantities of food, sleep 1-2hour after dinner, head end elevation may useful. Tab. Pantaprazole before breakfast.. Still symptoms persisten you need to consult your doctor immediately.
