I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?

View allI've been dealing with lax esophagitis and pangastritis for 10 years and have been on PPIs the whole time. The side effects from the meds are getting to me should I consider surgery or stick with the PPIs?
Long-term PPI use for esophagitis may cause side effects. Anti-reflux surgery (like fundoplication) is considered when lifestyle and medicines fail.

I'm dealing with diarrhea since this morning and already took a Norflox tablet. For food, I'm sticking to bananas and boiled rice, and I'm hydrating with ORS. Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?
Swallowing a bone can be uncomfortable. _Possible scenarios:_ 1. _Bone stuck in throat_: The bone might be lodged in your throat, causing pain while eating. 2. _Bone in esophagus or stomach_: The bone may have passed into your esophagus or stomach, causing discomfort or pain. _What to do:_ 1. _Stay calm_: Try to remain calm and avoid panicking. 2. _Drink water_: Drink plenty of water to help the bone pass through your system. 3. _Eat soft foods_: Opt for soft, easy-to-swallow foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or mashed bananas. 4. _Avoid solid foods_: Refrain from eating solid foods, especially those that may scratch or irritate your throat or esophagus. _When to seek medical attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or difficulty swallowing. 2. _Vomiting blood_: If you vomit blood or see blood in your stool. 3. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. 4. _No improvement_: If your symptoms persist or worsen over time. If you're unsure or concerned, consider consulting a doctor or visiting an emergency room for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm having these weird symptoms after eating anything, like I keep burping and it feels like something's stuck in my throat, although it doesn't hurt. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. Could this be related to COVID or something else?
no its not covid, its gastritis, take tablet pantop for 3 days
