asthma and hiatal hernia

Read all responses to hialatal hernia question causing asthma symptoms.  I believe mine is from my bp meds.  Have gotten nowhere with doctors. Its so distressing to hear them say its from strees.  twoyears ago gastrointologist said the operation was too dangerous and gave me nexium which caused constipation.  Famly doctor recently gave me QVAR which cauased severe pain in area of my heart.  Foot cardiologist said  I dont hear any wheezing, call in themorning and I couldnt get an appointment--they had tried about a dozen bp meds.  Either way, Im exhausted going to er and hearing them imply its anxiety.  
Glad I found this site because now I know I am sane and doctors are fools,.  My Bible study group is praying for me
I need all the info I can get and prayers.

Ive been on every reflux med there is and after three years it's worse then ever, Im getting to where I can't breath, it feels like my chest is caving in, and my back hurts. doc says lungs are fine. I have been doing everything I am suppose to do, I don't eat after 6, I sleep sitting up!, Im so sick of this crapp! I haven't had pizza or spagetti or hot wings in two years! it only feels better when Ive just ate,...but only for a few minutes, or when I first gett up in the mornin. Most of the time im tired all the time no energy, fatigue, constantly burping! I just want to feel better!, HELP!

I had hiatal hernia, asthma, and reflux.  Had reflux surgery and fixed hernia, still trouble breathing.  Lot of people on here w/same problem.  Im going to Cleveland Clinic in 2 weeks.  Ive had this for 14 months.  I beg docs for help, pulmonary docs say lungs clear and blow me off.
