I'm having breathing problems and it's been going on for a week now. I even went for an ECG and it came back normal. I've dealt with gastritis before and was on meds for it. Could this gastritis be causing my shortness of breath?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, gastritis and other gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux can sometimes cause or contribute to shortness of breath. This happens due to the proximity of the stomach to the diaphragm, which can become irritated and lead to feelings of chest discomfort or shortness of breath. Since your ECG is normal, its less likely that your symptoms are heart-related. However, its important to manage your gastritis effectively and monitor your symptoms. If your breathing problems persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation to rule out other potential causes and ensure you receive appropriate treatment.

I usually avoid eating fruits because I'm not a fan, but the other day my friend's mom insisted that I try some papaya. Now, I'm dealing with a pretty bad stomachache and I feel bloated. Do you think the stomach pain is from eating the papaya? How can I get some relief and feel better soon?
Actually pappaya is good for health but some are irratable to pappaya , if you get same symptoms next its better to avoid rather than taking medicines
