Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having stomach problem with shortness of breath.
So possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) induced bronchitis is more.
GERD is known risk factor for bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
For stomach problem, take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
