Constant burping, heartburn, frequent nausea

[clarky99]

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years (24 years old now, diagnosed at 22 months and have always maintained good blood sugar control (A1C from 7 - 8).  Recently I have experienced frequent heartburn, and near constant burping.  I know these are symptoms of gastroparesis, which is a common complication.  I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and if they have had success in treating it?
Next, I also am having issues with ym breathing.  It feel like I can never get a full satisfying breath.  I have to gasp for air (in a sort of slow and controlled manner) every few breaths or I feel light headed.  I am scheduled for an echocardiogram this week to investigate.  Has anyone had similar symptoms?

Thanks for the input.

Hi!  I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  I suspect that the symptoms you are seeing might very likely be tied to the results of the analysis of your heart.  There are many heart and circulation-related tests to discover what might be causing your symptoms, from the ECG you are scheduled for to a calcium scoring test, which determines the amount of calcium deposits in the veins around your heart.  It could be gastroparesis, but with your shortness of breath amd light-headedness, there is a lot of cross-over.  Good luck.
