I have the sane symptoms. Just completed stress tests, cat scans, respitory test, nothing shows up. I do have a small hiatal hernia but could that be causing the breathing problems. I am so aware of every breath. I break out into a sweat from nerves.Where do I go from here. What do I do. Is there a specialist out there that can help just tell me what I'm dealing with.
Someone get back to me.
Thanks
Thank you--I will look at combining my treatment with some night time therapy. It's good to know these symptoms are somewhat typical.
Also, Troubles361--
I have had some recent success wtih orange peel extract. I got it at the health food store and it is very concentrated high quality orange peel in gel pill form. I can't remember the exact product name at the moment but if you are interested, I'd take a trip to the health food store.
I hope everyone will get relief that is searching for answers here. Living with this is so frustrating at times. Hugs to everyone going through this!
Hi,
PPI are very effective in controlling the symptoms of GERD. But the results will be better if certain lifestyle modifications are followed.
In few patients, a 'nocturnal breakthrough' occurs. The patients have nightime symptoms.
PPI are not effective in controlling these nighttime reflux.
H2RA like Zantac taken at nighttime ( In addition to the PPI already being taken) will be useful in these situations.

I have had the same shortness of breath since spring.......it's very scary and exactly, you can't get a good deep beath. They tell me it is severe gerd and reflux.....I just had my esaphogus stretched last week in hopes of some relief.......nothing! All the meds, prevacid, nexioum, can't even begin to name them all, no relief............they say I have severe scarring and inflammation from the gerd but nothing they give me helps.........good luck to both of us!!!!!!!!!
