Hello did yiu find iut what is it? I am having the same problem thanks
Hi TimmyNes .. I had the same symptoms but with a cough that suddenly began. I was a smoker. An xray indicated Emphysema. I am yet to have blood tests which will help confirm or discount diagnosis.
Since this is an older thread try creating a new one with all that is going on with you.....to read thru all these to find out what same symptoms you identify with can be daunting for the members and you may not get the answers you are looking for.
Hi all I have been suffering with the same symptoms for the past 5 days now. Doc told me in hyperventilating. Can any of you tell me if this got better for you? Thank you
I feel the same...that lump in my throat that makes me burp all the time. And i cant take enough air to breath.
@chelsj and @eliz90, I have been having the exact same problem... I have had IBS for 15 years, and over the last few years have developed excessive burping, and now over the last month or so it has turned into excessive burping and yawning. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am also a female in my 30s...
@chelj Did you ever find out what the problem was? I have a very similar story, and would appreciate any insight! :)
Hello. I am a 23 year old male. I weigh approx 195 and am 5'8 so I am a tad heavy for my height. I have recently started losing weight (I was 230 about 5 months ago so progess is being made!) and I have started having these symptoms EXACTLY. Started about a month ago and have been to the doc mutliple times for it. I do have GERD and take prilosec for it (though I am pretty inconsistant with it..I will feel good for a few days so I don't take it then when I start getting the acid burn in my abdoment/chest I'll start taking it again). I have been to the doc previously, about a year ago now, about waking up choking and having a burning feeling in my lungs (this was due to the GERD getting so bad that I would aspirate). But recently it has been the shortness of breath (air hunger), constant yawning and when I burp (burping is also tough to do now) it feels like pressure is being taken off of my lungs and it becomes a little easier to breathe; this is short lived, however. I also get the lump feeling in my throat and it seems as though throat lozenges (spelling?) alleviate that feeling for a short time. Could all this be caused by GERD?
I also have been experiencing this since jan 1st 2014. I have been diagnosed by a holistic doctor with Dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria). This was due to repeated antibiotic use and high sugar diet (processed foods and alcohol too). I have taken antibacterials such as garlic, berberine and oregano oil and probiotics to treat this and had some improvement but as soon as I stopped taking them I relapsed and symptoms returned. I have since done a fecal transplant and was starting to feel
Much better for 6 weeks then relapsed again. I am about to have more fecal transplants to prolong my feeling of wellbeing and hopefully improve my health on a deep level. Look into this guys - it's taken 20 months of painstaking failed appointments and thousands of hours of research to get to this point. Good luck and feel free to

Hi, my name is Cj, and i've been feeling heavy on my chest for a week now. I have difficulty in breathing in, it feels like it's not enough and the more i tried to inhale, i get cramps in my stomach or neck.. I also feel after eating, couple of hours after, i can feel my stomach moving and making sound. Also i burp a lot and it's a relief after coz i can breathe in.. But sometimes burping is hard..help pls. I started taking nexium 40mg 3days ago, but its not working.
Glad that is working.....keep me posted on how he is doing,
Sending well wishes to him.
She loaned us the nebulizer - put him on antibiotics yesterday. He's better already. I told her last week he needed something to break up the mucus.. She admitted he may have mucus plug. The pharmacist also told me to get musinex.. It is working! He slept all night last night.. not wake up unable to breath. He had one episode every day for a week and I had to be really pushy to the dr... frustrated as hell.
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
As a precaution also have ur DS checked for sleep apnea since u said he wakes gasping for breathe....he may not have it, but do rule it out to be safe.
Keep us posted on how he does with the new meds.
Have they tried an antihistamine ?....could be post nasal drip,. ...and elevate the head of his bed to see if that helps with the sleep disturbances,.
my 16 year old son had a cough for a month.. non-productive cough that turned into more of asthma symptoms. Usually when sleeping he wakes up gasping for breath..walks around burping to catch his breath.. Taking him to urgent care this morning. we've been on cough med for 1 week and I just called the dr. telling her we need to step up the treatment.. going today for 2 different inhalers..
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
It may take a few weeks for the prilosec to show benefits...it is not as quick as many of us would like.
U will want to make modifications to both ur diet and lifestyle....this lump in the throat is usually connected with Silent reflux or Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.
A good GI dr should be able to help u with this, add the modifications to aid the med as the med will not help all ur issues by itself...u have ot avoid certain foods while this is flaring ....acidic, greasy, spicy,carbonated drinks and alcohol, caffeine,.....and raising the head of ur bed 6 ins, no eating 3 to 4 hrs b4 laying down...and more.
The health Pages here have several articles in there that may be of help to u....
