What Causes Heaviness In Chest And Throat With Breathlessness?
Question: Hi
I am a 41 year old male and have recently been experiencing heaviness in chest and throat and breathlessness..I had all respiritory tests come back clear and I had a endoscopy and they found gastritis esophagitis and moderate reflux.And bile in the stomach which is probably because I had my gallbladder removed 18 months ago..
I have increased my lansoprazole to 30mg twice a day for the last 2 weeks and I eat very well but im still suffering with this constant.. And now I also I am also experiencing terrible breathlessness every time I lay down and I get a lump in throat and I cant even sleep now because of this..
My question is…..Can this get better in time and if so how long does this take roughly
Regards XXXXXXX

As per your clinical history & endoscopy it appears that you are having Gastritis + esophagitis + GERD + Heartburn.

If I were your treating doctor,

Avoid spicy , fast food , alcohol & smoking .
Eat timely 3 hour before sleep , take walk after meal & also try to sleep timely.
You can use antacid syrup for instant relief. Continue lansoprazole and metoclopomide .
