Return of breathing problem
Posted , 10 users are following.
So, after a spate of trial and error methods at easing the effects of my GERD I managed to reduce my breathlessness and rapid heartbeat as well as stomach pain without using meds and by simply just living healthy. This however does not seem to be enough as my breathing problem still persists. Even worse, I get chest pains. Doctors have begun to think I am a hypochondriac with all the visits I have made to the hospital. There's nothing wrong with my heart and according to them I may only be suffering the last spurt of my GERD. But I don't know. Can anyone reassure me? Please, if you have overcome this could you please tell me how you did it or advise me on what I could do?

I too have breathing/heartbeat issues as a result of reflux. This can happen especially if you have a hiatus hernia. I had a load of heart tests done and they were ok. A hernia can push on your diaphragm. Have you been diagnosed with a hh?

i also have a high blood pressure readings and under went every heart test ! but under a 24 hr test found to have white coat syndrome which means when I visit hospital or doctors my blood pressure goes up giving false diagnosis !
I purchased a wrist blood pressure reader now and take a reading before I go to gp and see the difference and tell your doctor your reading .
this happens to me and I don't feel any different than calm !
no one knows why white coat happens but it is important to realise that you may have it to avoid being prescribed drugs for high blood pressure when you don't have it !!!
This is very dangerous and happend to me

Its funny you should put this on the forum as I have recently started with breathlessness and palpitations since last Wednesday and it happened again over the weekend. I do went to my local walk in centre and they did an ECG and said that my heart and blood pressure was fine! I am at my doctors this evening to try and get it sorted. I am currently still under going tests for my acid reflux, have had a Gastroscopy and a barium swallow up to now and waiting to have the PH monitoring done! I am currently on Lansoprazole to help. Hope that you get better soon. Take care, Amanda.
