Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. Acidity, heartburn, can cause or aggravate breathlessness or asthmatic symptoms. I would first think of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) for you.

2. I usually suggest my such patients an antacid like pantoprazole (which is there in Ganaton total) for 4-6 weeks regularly.

3. I would also suggest you to avoid hot and spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, alcohol and smoking.

4. If you have symptoms of breathlessness apart from acidity, I would suggest you spirometry with post-bronchodilator reversibility testing which helps to know your lung capacity and also to know whether you have asthma or any other lung disorder.

5. If stress is an important factor for you, I would also suggest you regular relaxation and meditation.

6. I would also suggest you to minimize consumption of painkillers (if you have to take, paracetamol would be best in my opinion) which can aggravate acidity & GERD.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
