Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

I went and saw a pulmonologist a couple days ago and my doctor thought right away that I had asthma. I did the asthma test and passed it with flying colors so no asthma. He still said to try using an inhaler since he has no idea what it could be. I won't be doing that I don't think. I went to my ENT doctor yesterday and they diagnosed me with silent reflux by using a camera to see down my throat! She said all of our symptoms can be caused by this as other people here have stated. I've start taking Omeprazole 40mg every night when I'm going to bed. I really hope this will help me figure this out!!! I'm having high hope right now.

Hi @oliviah9 how are you taking the 40mg? All at once or 20 and 20 at different times? Did the doc give you a script or is it just 2 Prilosec? I am asking because I too definitely have reflux that also causes me some grief..... I had it my whole life but managed it but now that the big 40 hit things get less tolerable. TIA
