This post is 2 years old but I am responding because I finally found someone with similar symptoms. My conditions started off about 1 year ago.... started off with mild nauseous initial to burping to shortness of breath. I have done endoscopy and diagnosed with gastritis and hiatus hernia but medication like omeniprexole doesn't work. Also done 24 hour ph impedance monitoring but o signs if reflux! Referred to ENT specialist who diagnosed that I have sensitive nose but still no conclusion on SOB... scheduled for a sleep test but not sure if that might help with the symptoms. @gabrielm, has your conditions improved? Any other kind experts can give your advice?

Hi @altius1300 . Since there are many types of SOB manifestations, can you be more specific? I mean, could you describe the specific type of SOB you experience, frequency, and finally pinpoint under what circumstances those symptoms tend to emerge?

Hi @altius1300. I too have a hiatal hernia. I've noticed that many people who have this SOB/air hunger also have GI issues. Not sure of the relationship, but there could be something there. My breathing has improved a bit through daily breathing Buteyko exercises (minimal) and moderate weight lifting and a daily walk. Definitely not 100%, and I do struggle with it at times, also due to constant sinus inflammation, but it is quite a bit better over the last couple of years. Still trying to get it better, but it seems to be stagnant at this point; manageable but still there.
