Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?
Lung Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (3587)Comment receiving replies
Hello friends, I am Esra, I am writing to you from Turkey. I have been dealing with this problem for 3 years. I went to the doctor, they said reflux, they said anxiety, but my problem did not improve, I used antibiotics, I used stomach medicine and it did not go away. I can't breathe deeply, I'm trying to breathe by yawning. There is pressure in the stomach
Diaphragm problems are mentioned in my research. On Wednesday, I will go to chest diseases, otorhinolaryngology and general surgery, I will write everything in detail, we suffer from the same problems, I do not want to lose our communication, I will write again. I hope you don't mind my typos.

Hi Esra, my symptoms are very similar. I was initially told I had allergic asthma. But the medicine did not really help. I have also been told that acid reflux might be causing it but treating that didn’t help either.
I recently read about phrenic nerve damage and I believe its related to diaphragm. My next move will be seeing a neurologist to look into this.
Btw I am also from Turkey 🙂 aslinda dm atmak istiyodum baska bi turke denk geldigim icin ve turkiyede nasil ilerliyo bu isler diye. Ben amerikada yasiyorum. Konusmak istersen haber ver. Cok gecmis olsun.

Thanks for sharing @esra, I'm glad you know you're not alone. Thank you for offering to share your experience when you see the various specialists.
I wonder if there is something in or around the stomach that's causing this pressure. Something of an obstructions or maybe a diaphragm issue. But glad you're getting this looked at. Let us know what you find out!
