I do have a somewhat “swollen” throat most of the time, now that you mention it. I do also burp a lot and have a feeling like a need to burp all the time. It just never occurred to me that stomach problems could be causing my shortness of breath, so I never even considered that. Thank you so much for the info, I’m really hoping that this is what I have. Also, I drink 3-4 diet sodas a day and eat a ton of food (as most 18 year old guys do) so maybe that has something to do with it as well. My gastro appointment is March 28th, so I’ll keep you updated!
