@lauretta16- Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you are joining us. It is very frustrating not being able to catch a full inhale of air when you expect it. SOB is caused by so many things but yours seem to be more gastric than lung related. What kind of doctors have you seen so far?

Thank you for the great responses as I now feel there are people out there who actually understand. I have seen gastric specialists and some have said GERD, whilst others have said it could be the actual movement of the muscles, causing spasms. However, they don't know what the cause of this could be. I've been put on PPIs but they give me hiccups and constipation!! There's always something. Still, may breathing has improved since I've been on them.
