Hi Gabe,

I am glad that I found your post because the way you described your symptoms are EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling for 3 weeks now. It seems to have started when I switched from working day shift to night shift. I am contributing it to some type of silent reflux because I do have a feeling of “burning” in my stomach and acid in my throat at times. I tried taking omprazole for 10 days with no relief. I even went to the chiropractor because I do have alignment issues but no relief there either. I hate the feeling of not being able to get a “deep enough” breath. I am considering getting started on protonix but hesitant just because I don’t take medication on a daily basis. I workout daily, I eat healthy, so I’m really just not sure what has caused this all the sudden. I’ve tried the breathing exercises you mentioned but I suppose I need to try them consistently every morning because nothing seems to give me relief.
