Hi,
The medications prescribed to you are quite well to control acidity and meanwhile, I suggest you focus on your diet and avoid spicy and fried food. Take more of the boiled veggies and fibrous ones. Take small frequent meals and avoid overeating especially at night.
As the cardiology investigations have come out to be fine, the only possibility for shortness of breath seems to be anemia. As you are already taking for it, hence, it should improve with time. Meanwhile, I suggest you rule out any allergic respiratory condition that might be the reason for it. But nothing to worry and try breathing exercised and yoga. Take good healthy diet and don’t take iron and calcium-rich items together since they impair the absorption of each other.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
