Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain shortness of breath and burping along with weird feeling in throat seems to be due to indigestion, hyperacidity, acid reflux and formation of intestinal gas..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and an upper G.I Endoscopy and enteroscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case of acid reflux he can advise you to take Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, antacids like Milk of magnesia and H2 blockers like Ranitidine..
Take small portions of food after 2 hours..
Take light meals and avoid spicy food..
Drink plenty of water..
Drinking luke warm water and taking probiotics like Yoghurt in diet can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
