Brief Answer: Please follow the suggestions below.... Detailed Answer: Hi Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX I have gone through your medical concerns, and I am sorry for the situation you are in. There can be many causes for the symptoms you are having. If you upload the reports, I will be better able to help. I am glad to hear that you have done all the necessary exams and tests and they resulted normal fortunately. This rules out some common medical conditions. Now, with regards to your gastritis, I am also happy to hear that you got informed over your health problem. However, I would also add that although the medical team (we doctors) do accept the general concepts over a disease; however, our judgement is based on the physical exam results of the patient. In other words, one thing is the info provided over gastritis and inflammation of the stomach; and it is another thing what you are experiencing at the moment. In the meanwhile I would suggest to continue the therapy with dexilant as directed. I'd suggest to drink more water, avoid spicy, chilies, fried, fatty or sugary or carbonated foods and drinks. I usually advise my patients to be more physically active as it will help them alleviate the symptoms. You can walk or jogging for at least 30 minutes a day. In addition, breathe-relaxing exercises can help you overcome the attack of dispnea (difficulty in breathing) Stay calm, inhale slowly and deeply, hold for a while, and then exhale slowly. At the moment of the attack try to use only nostrils to inhale by keeping your mouth closed. Next, chamomile tea and avoiding caffeine, alcohol, energetic drinks can help too. At the end, when you go from lying down position to sitting or standing up, try to do it slowly implementing the breathing techniques as mentioned above. Hope it answered your inquiry! p.s. do no hesitate to contact me if you have other concern Dr. Klerida
