Suggest Treatment For Pain And Shortness Of Breath

Hi. I can feel peristalsis under my diaphragm. It starts on the right side, goes across the abdomen to left. the squeezing is causing a lot of pressure and gives me the sensation of difficulty breathing. I have a little more gas than normal, but no real pain, just tight squeezing. It has been going on for three weeks and I am otherwise healthy. What can cause this?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The treatment of your symptoms will depend on the cause.There are many possible causes of your symptoms.Some common causes may include:
-Hiatal hernia
-GERD
-Respiratory pathologies
-The muscles and nerves that help move food through the throat and esophagus are not working right
-Esophagitis
-Diverticula
-Esophageal tumors
-And others
I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and work ups.Some tests that may help to identify the cause of your symptoms may include: chest x ray, A barium swallow, Manometry, abdominal ultrasound.....
In the meantime, i will suggest you try the following:
*In semis solids foods
*Eat in small quantities and many time
*Avoid eating and lying down immediately
