GERD Child Having Breathing Difficulty. Xrays Normal. Diagnosed Allergy. Given Fluticasone Nasal Spray. No Relief. Recommendation
Hi, my 5 year old son keeps taking deep breaths as if he was exerting himself running. He does it on and off and he says "it's hard to breathe" but it happens even when he's resting. I took him a couple of months ago to his pediatrician and she requested chest X-rays that came back ok. She said it could be allergies and prescribed fluticasone nasal spray but that hasn't helped. What could it be? He had GERD until he was 24 months approx.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
Your son of five years age is taking deep breaths, on and off, even at rest, Xrray was normal, pediatritian said it may be allergy, and prescribed fluticsone nasal spray , but not helping. he had GERD, upto the age of 24 months.
It may not be related to either of the diseases you are thinking to be , breath lessness, or G.E.R.D.
I think it might be a psychological , may be related to gastritis, due to lactose intolarance, or indigestion.
I advise you to consult a psychiatrist, with this you can have a god result.
Besides i advise you to avoid milk and milk products .
Wishing him a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
