Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and asthma in your case. Both, GERD and asthma commonly present together.
Your chest pain and gaseous feeling are due to GERD.
And your breathing problem in AC and at night are mostly due to asthma.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
For GERD symptoms, take antacid like pantoprazole on empty stomach. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
