Can Acid Reflux Cause Breathing Difficulty, Shivering And Tingling In Face?

Im currently undergoing excessive hearburn and acid reflux hoping that i dont have an ulcer, but my question is what just happened to me just now. I was talking on the phone with my girlfriend and out of no where i had the hardest time breathing, my fingers clenched up together and my arm stuck to my chest all while going to the floor. At the same time, I got great amounts of tingling sensations all over my face and my left side was shaking. When my arm loosened up and i just started crying. What just happened to me? Does this have anything to do with my acid reflux?

Hello,

It may be a panic attack or may acute asthmatic attack or acute acid reflux or hypocalcemia or hypokalemia. Until examination, it is difficult to say what it is. You may need a complete evaluation. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
