Suggest Treatment For Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease And Shortness Of Breath
I have severe gerd. I recently had an upper scope. I have been having breathing problems that feel like I can t take a deep enough breath. Not every breath but sometimes. It feels like it is in the diaphragm area, not my lungs. It is making me tired and stressed out. I have had this before but can t remember what made it go away. Help.

hi I did review your concern. I would recommend you to get a chest xray done to find out why there is shortness of breath. very rarely GERD can give feeling of wheeze and rare feeling of short of breath but mostly it can be due to other condition.
For GERD i would recommend you to take omeprazole once daily and see how things go. Also do not eat food and immediately lie down and use2-3 pillow to sleep for few days.
i hope this helps
Wish you all the best

Hi
you are reporting to have breathing problems.
This symptom may be related with GERD ( acid reflux).
To my opinion you should start the treatment with PPI like pantoprazol and metochlopramid.
You need to change your lifestyle like :
- eat ofetn and small amount of meal
- avoid coffee, choccolate, tea, spicy and fatty foods.
- use two pillows when you lay down
- lay down 3-4 hours after meal.
If you have done all this advices and there is no imptovement than you need to consult pneumologyst.
wishing you all the best.
