Suggest Remedy For Shortness Of Breath And Acid Reflux

I quit taking anti-anxiety meds over 6 months ago.Since then shortness of breath attacks,not constant but a constant nagging pain on left side.I do suffer from acid reflux and it seems to bring on symptoms depending on diet.If my acid reflux is really acting up it I feel more flush.
Exercise brings relief of both and I can breath deeply within just 30 seconds and everything becomes clearer also.Leaving out microwaved foods or fast foods helps also.
Of course when it starts anxiety can even make symptoms worse.I've been to ER twice and no signs of hear attacks,lungs are very clear but pains move to stomach area if I squat down.

Hello,

Uncontrolled anxiety can cause chest pain, hyperacidity, gastritis, shortness of breath etcetera. So we should first treat yourselves anxiety to subside all symptoms. So consult a psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You will also need anxiolytic (propranolol and flunarizine combination) drugs too.

Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. You can take pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily for acid reflux.


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

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
