Suffering from chronic gastritis. Whenever i get this gastric pain i have shortness of breath. Can gastric attack cause shortness of breath?. Please comment.
Thank you.

Hi,
Shortness of breath is usually not reported by patients with chronic gastritis.
Kindly get evaluated for acid reflux and heart disease.
