Suggest Medications For Belching During Night With Breathing Difficulties
I have been doing a constant belching for a long time now and it s become uncontrollable. I have been to the doctors numerous times and the doctor has just prescribed omeprozole and mintec peppermint capsules. None of these seem to be easing the problem and the belching is worse at night it s that bad it makes me feel said I can t get my breath and causes me to be wheezy . Can you help me it s really getting me down .
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of constant belching which becomes uncontrollable, making sleep difficult due to wheezing and difficulty in breathing. You have been prescribed Omeprazole and Mintec peppermint capsules but of no help. I would advise you the following: Upper GI endoscopy and Barium swallow to find the reason why. Ultrasonography of the abdomen. Once the cause is found which can be due to hiatus hernia or reflux esophagitis, the treatment can be either medical management with motility regulators like Domperidone or Reglan and antacid. Change of lifestyle, not having instigating or enhancing factors for belching helps a lot. If the medical management fails, surgery may be the option to get a cure.
