About a year ago, I started wheezing.....my doctor said he could not detect it, but I could hear myself. I have had bronchitis for the past 5-6 winters. Just got out of hospital with flu and pneumonia, and still wheezing and taking breathing treatments. In January of this year, I had a colonoscopy and my doctor prescribed prilosec, which I did not take as I should. A friend of mine, who has bad lung problems, told me her lung doctor told her that acid reflux problems can spill over into your lungs, causing you many problems. I have begun, religiously, to take my Prilosec. Can anyone who has had experience with acid reflux and lungs give me some infor on this? I have an appt with a pulmonary doctor but it seems forever before it will get here. in the meantime, it is cough, cough, cough, and wheeze. wheeze, wheeze, and difficulty breathing.
