Acid Reflux/GERD causing breathing difficulties . Please help!
Posted , 1 user is following.
For the past 2 months I have had trouble breathing and had acid reflux like symptoms. The breathless feeling is 24/7 and makes me terribly anxious, but every time i go to hospital or the doctors my breathing is fine and my O2 level is excellent. Lungs are also fine, was checked for blood clots and doctor said they can hear the air hitting the very bottom of my lungs. It also gets much worse on a night and makes it difficult for me to sleep. Other symptoms include heartburn,regurgitation and constant burping. Sometimes it even feels like my diaphragm is having spasms and like I can’t burp at all. I have been on PPIs on and off since this started and have switched between a few different ones, but they don’t offer any relief. Also tried Peptac which makes me feel like mucous builds up very fast but does help for initial heartburn. I have been booked in for an endoscopy sometime soon due to rapid weight loss and not being able to eat due to the breathless feeling, and feeling like cement forms in my chest after eating. I’m at my wits end with this and I honestly have run out of things to try, my GP is pretty useless and I have been told in A&E there is nothing they can do. Please does anyone have a similar problem?!
