GERD & shortness of breath
by KSM1113, Sep 06, 2008 08:43PM
Is it possible for GERD to cause shortness of breath? I have acid reflux and am currently taking Nexium. For the past month I have been having shortness of breath in which I have had numerous tests done and currently they are working on pulmonary causes. The strange thing is that with this shortness of breath I noticed that when I burp I feel release and am able to take a good deep breath. If there is any information that you can give that would be great.
Thanks

Hi,
Shortness of breath is one of the manifestations of GERD. GERD over a period of time can cause even asthma.
PPI along with life style modifications would be helpful.
