GERD or lung related issue? Breathing discomfort and symptoms

I am having some problems... Cant diagnose it properly... I started having some problems in breathing... specially at night.. when i am lying i feel like i m choking(not severe, just discomfort). I sometimes have little pain in chest . Also i have upper abdominal pain too but mild pain. But after i fall asleep i don't have any discomfort and i don't wake up in the middle of night. I may have GERD. not sure. The paun is very mild and happens sometimes.. i feel breathing discomfort at night.. The chest pain is mild and I feel discomfort in general. Also I have a Nasal congestion issue for long time.  I can feel that I have quite some amount of mucus in my throat. Took omeprazole for 10days. didnt help gave me abdominal pain instead

It sounds like Gerd. Reflux can cause all that. Reason being is your stomach,lungs,throat are all connected by the same nerves.  Elevate your bed 6 inches at the bedboard and DONOT eat at least 3-4 hours before bed.  See your MD as well
