Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Hi Thank you.. yes I have! Im confused because the Dr. Said he believes its gerd but did a scope and said everything looks fine. Then the next visit says he believes it might be asthma. But the shortness of breath only happens whenever I feel this flareup in my stomach. I have changed my eating habits and still nothing has changed. I was trying to do alot of natural things like manku honey etc. I recently got covid and my symptoms went through the roof.. so I had to finally buckle down and take the prescription. I must admit it has made me feel so much better but medication is not the route I want to go...Also because the medication has helped makes me think that I do have gerd

@gabrielm I have had GERD for 25 yrs. I was told by my GI dr that GERD had caused my asthma. I went to a pulmonologist and sure enough he agreed. He said fumes and/or reflux comes up your esophagus and effects your breathing and can give a hoarseness to my voice, which it did. My experience (being very sick with asthma) has taught me to take GERD and asthma very seriously. My friend got esophageal cancer because of undiagnosed GERD and nearly died. If you can get by without medicine more power to you. I sure can’t. Hope this gives you some insight.
