What Causes Difficulty Breathing When Suffering From GERD?

I was diagnosed with GERD and small ulcers at the bottom of my esophagus at the middle of the diaphram per a endoscopy and one doctor told me i have a hiatal hernia while another doctor said he saw no HH. For the last few weeks ive had the worst trouble breathing and it feels like a mass or a bump in the middle of my diaphram

GERD can cause atypical symptoms of respiratory system like cough, difficulty in breathing, sore throat etc. Take Tab.Esomeprazole (Nexium) 40mg BD for 7 days then 20mg BD for next 7 days and if u didn't get relief even after, or worsening of symptoms during, let me know or visit ur Gastroenterologist.
