What Causes Shortness Of Breath With Abdominal Pressure?

Hy am a 26 year old male having a chronic problem with breathing since i was 16. It first started out as i woke up and went to baskteball practise,when i started runing i noticed i was getting short of breath like i was a heavy smoker or somth.Than came fatigue i was tired evry day...and thats how it is evry day for the last 10 years always tired and always shortnes of breath.The worst time of the day is always morning...if i feel little better at night in morning it all disapears and is bad like before also i wake up earlier many time cause i need to pee often. Its like i have some kind of pressure in diagphragm area which doesnt let me breath in fully. I made lots of examinations when i made my first x ray i was diagnosed with hernia and than when i did my next x ray there was no hernia which confused me even more...i did also swalowing of that tube and it showed lots of acidity the doctor evan asked me if i was eating somthin that morning because it was acidic or somth while i havent eaten for 12 h... I have taken controloc for a month and it didnt help me,i also tok lansoprasole for a month and it didnt help me either I was also thested for pylori which was negative The most frustrating part about this is that am tired evry day and short of breath and if somtimes is a little better in morning is all back to square one..tired and feeling of pressure abdomen and short of breath and its like that throughout the whole day so its not a atack of some kind. What could be my problem,thank u for listening
