Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that infection in food pipe can possibly cause severe breathing difficulty because of gastritis and infection.

You can also get a fresh Echocardiography done to check for heart function and continue with treatment for gastric infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
