Hi,

I am sorry for the acidity problems you are having.

Mucaine, antacid gel is very good alternative to treat hyperacidity of the stomach.

The suffocating feeling is not caused by this drug but from the acid fluid going backwards to airways and causing their irritation.

Apart this med, you should implement good dietary and lifestyle changes to ease hyperacidity issues.

Wish fast recovery.
