DISCOMFORT IN Breathing

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query

Any disease that can cause aspiration of gastric contents into lung can cause breathing problem like Achalasia cardia, Diverticula, malignancy, any motility disorders.

Not all diseases cause aspiration. It may or may not be one of the symptoms.

Any further questions are always welcome. Feel free to discuss in case you're having any specific questionnaire regarding this.


Thanks and regards
