For about 2 years I have had upper back pain across my shoulders and an ache in the centre of my chest. I have had tests for my heart which I am told is ok. I also get a bit breathless at rest not when Im active. I feel bloated most of the time. It feels like my lungs havent a lot of room in chest ,like my stomach is pushing them up. I had a blood test a while ago, and was told that I had h pylori. I was given triple therapy which made me feel much better after a week but only lasted for three weeks . I still feel uncomfortable, and fed up with going to my doctors so frequently, and feel like i`m wasting his YYYY@YYYY

Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm. Since the symptoms have reappeared after stopping medicines. So I will suggest you for some lifestyle modifications and medicines which you may have to take for long period of time. Avoid spicy, and fatty meals. Dont lie soon after taking meals and dont drink water with meals both for at least for 2hrs. Take ilaprazole which is the most efficacious proton pump inhibitor with minimal side effects. Also take a prokinetic agent like domperidone. I hope I ahve answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
