Welcome to HCM.
Yes,your doctor is right because you have symptoms like dyspepsia.
So there is excessive acid and gas formation in the stomach which produce more pressure up words towards diaphragm and causes shortness of breath.
Continue current medicines.
Start rebeprazole with cintapride to subside the acidity.
Enzyme preparations will be helpful.
Take antacid gel during severe episodes.
Make regular habit for your diet pattern.
Take simple,high fiber die.Avoid red,green chilly and oily diet.
Go for exercise,yoga regularly.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
