Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflex And Breathing Difficulty

I have been reading about the relationship between acid reflex and difficulty breathing. I have difficulty taking a deep breath, sometimes feeling as though I am not able to breath. I do take omeprazole 20 mg once daily for my acid reflex. I have been feeling tired and have little energy which I believe is related to this problem. Now what?

I can understand your concern.
Yes, you are right. Uncontrolled acid reflux any difficulty in breathing are associated.
So we should treat your acid reflux to improve breathing difficulty.
Only antacid (omeprazole) is normal sufficient for treatment. You need to follow certain below mentioned lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
4. Along with omeprazole, also take levosulperide.
5. Go for walking after meals.
