Hello everyone,

I have been having some symptoms that I think are due to an acid reflux problem but I'm not quite sure. I would like to know if some of you that have this problem also have/had this symptoms..

So, I feel some pressure in my stomach, as if I'm full, even though I'm not and also some burning in the middle of my chest and upper stomach area. I also have a slight acidic feeling going up and down in my throat and I noticed that most of these usually get worse at night or after eating large meals..

I also feel a slight shortness of breathe these days, I don't know if it could be related to this.

Thank you so much for listening

    Sounds like reflux of acid. Try taking ranitidine daily for a few days to see if it helps. It will reduce any acid.

    Also, to avoid nocturnal reflux, leave at least 3 hours between your last meal and going to bed. Shortness of breath can be related to reflux.

    If symptoms persist, see your doctor.
