Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi guys!! New update and what i discovered.
The last time i posted on this issue, i stated that i took flagyl and got huge relief for one day and then it came back. The past few weeks have been hectic for me as it got worse. These are what I discovered:
First, my eating habit is very poor.
2, I was having chest heaviness especially after eating. It feela like I had a sore/wound in my osoephagus.
3. I have had 2 refluxes while sleeping in the past.
4. At a point when i drink water, it was like the water passed through my heart. Which means a wound in the throat.
I consulted people and went to the doctor. They all said it's ulcer. I agreed with them cos of my past experiences with refluxes and acidity.
In order to confirm my ulcer, i went to do blood test which confirmed I had H.pylori bacteria. I have started using the right antibiotics and I am getting huge relief. I also identified some food triggers like pepper, acidic food like oranges etc makes life worst. I have cut them off until my esophagus heals.
In summary, if you know you have a poor eating habit, then this mysterious shortness of breath is linked to GERD, Ulcer, reflux esophagitis and the other of its families.
Omeprazole/proton pump inhibitor also played huge role.
At the end i bought the complete ulsakit drug which contains omeprazole and other two antibiotics which works better than flagyl for matters regarding stomach and intestine.
I hope this helps someone outhere.

@joefocus, I appreciate getting the update and am really glad you found some answers. Surprisingly, a fellow member @ kidprodigy had a similar experience only a few days ago with getting an H. pylori infection diagnosis. You may wish to join the discussion and share experiences here:

This will most certainly help someone out there. What changes have you made to your diet?
