Hi welcome to HCM....
Let me know you as such acidity can lead to burning chest pain....
But it can't lead dyspnea unless hiatus hernia associated with that ....
So hiatus hernia should be ruled out that might be cause for acid reflux ....
You needs to investigate with chest x ray and endoscopy or barium study for that ....
For acidity take omeprazole capsule on empty stomach ....
Avoid heavy meal ...
Head elevation while sleeping ....
And if hiatus hernia there surgical repair needed .
Advise : consult physician for primary work up....
Take care
