breathing issues

[classic27]

Had a few questions about my symptoms, I've had acid refulx since  i was 17 now im 27, never really took it serious till it started affecting my breathing.. then started having digestive issues with it like burning at first then severe stomach pain from taking antibiotics it rip my stomach to pieces, everything i ate i felt so much pain no matter what it was... i don't have H pylori. i was diagnosed with acid reflux gastritis and hital hernia.. i was told the hernia wasn't big enough to affect my breathing... my left lung feels affected and that's where i have had the acid pain mostly.. i cant catch my breath most of the time and its scary i cant even be that active. in the past i worked in a place where there was a lot of second hand smoke not sure if that might have done damage. i do not smoke.. i just hope that i can fix these issues, doctors look at me and think that i perfectly healthy but i feel terrible,  trying to find a way to fixed the underlying cause which is hard to find a good doctor that actually cares.. if i can get any advice on this i would really appreciate it.. thanx

this may not apply to you, but my daughter's digestive problems, often attributed to too much acidity, turned out to be the opposite. She was told by her MD to take a spoon of apple cider vinegar immediately before eating. It worked like magic and ended her misery (immediately).

i have suffered with acid reflux for many years and it is horrible. It affects my breathing too when i get a bad flare up, can cause vomitting and terrible pain in stomach, it got so bad i couldnt swallow food as it was to painful, i have been on lansoprazole for 2 years now and i take 1 30mg tablet every day and i have had no problems since. Speak to your doctor if you are not on these tablets and get on them because they are wonderful. Make an appointment if you are on the tablets as there is obviously something else going on, i really wish you luck with this.
