Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a hiatal hernia that caused GERD. I have been suffering from difficulty breathing, chest pain, dizziness, and a headache for the past few days. Sometimes, when I breathe, I feel like I am not getting enough air. I have also stopped smoking. But the symptoms are getting worse. Why so?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
It seems the symptoms are due to GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). So, I suggest you do an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. I also suggest you take a tablet of Pantoprazole (antacid) twice a day before food. Take Mucain (Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and Oxetacaine) gel syrup two teaspoons thrice daily after food. Get a PFT (pulmonary function test) done for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
Kindly consult a doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
