Difficulty Breathing After A Meal. Have History Of Asthma And Hypothyroidism. Is This Serious?
I'm 60, hypoT, controlled. Also have asthma. Controlled. I have been exercising an d watching my food intake. I have lost 30 lbs and feel great. However, I'm now have difficulties breathing, but it does not feel like my lungs. I have difficulty breathing when I bend over from the waist say to tie my shoes or pick something up. I'm walking an 8 minute mile with no wheezing and without using my inhaler. This used to happen when I ate too much.

Your symptoms could possibly be due to Gastro-oesophageal reflux causing reflux of gastric contents in airways and causing them to be hyperactive -l---- leading on to bronchospasm and breathing difficulty especially any mane-our which prompts reflux like bending down.
I would suggest you following
1. Frequent Small meals
2. Avoid oily/spicy foods
3. Avoiding sleeping immediately after eating
4. 2 weeks use of proton pump inhibitor drug like Pantoprozole will helpful
Do get back to me if you have any other problem
Take Care
