Question 1

shortness of breath in pregnancy and frequent burping?

Accepted Answer

Common: Common during pregnancy. You need more oxygen during pregnancy and the body adapts to this. Also as the growing baby/uterus pushes against your diaphragm (muscle of breathing) your breathing might feel more labored. Burping occurs because the hormones in your body relax the muscles of the GI tract, causing more gas and bloating resulting in frequent burping. Both reverse after delivery.

Question 2

shortness of breath, chest pain, burping and farting a lot, cough that won't go away, noisy stomach(not hungry), stomach cramping, i had ekg and chest x-ray 2 weeks ago and they were clear. is this gerd?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It could be many things, from reflux to even a virus.  See your physician for an exam and diadnosis.

Question 3

im burping continiouslyand im pregnant  and im having shortness of breath?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: The intestines slow down during pregnancy and you get more gas.  Bloating, burping and passing gas are common in pregnancy.  Shortness of breath normally occurs in the third trimester from the uterus decreasing the amount of lung expansion that occurs when you breathe.  If earlier in pregnancy though, you might get checked for other lung or heart problems.

Question 4

i'm burping almost all the time. uncontrol yawning and feeling shortness of breath..why?

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Might be anxiety and air swallowing, or something else. Get checked by your doctor to be sure what is happening.

Question 5

shortness of breath, burning sensation and pains across the chest, a lot of burps and fatigue?

Accepted Answer

This is a lot & not : Sounds like asthma + acid reflux. But a much more complete history (and physical) is need. If you drink coffee (regular & decaf) or eat sweets, i'd suggest you stop those for now to see if there is benefit. You will enjoy our website www.Thepmc.Org.

Question 6

why do you have shortness of breath when your gerd attacks? why you need to burp to feel relieved?

Accepted Answer

The irritation: of the esophagus and refluxing of acid into your air tubes can cause a shortness of breath like sensation. Often, burping relieves the pressure in the stomach, which improves the reflux. Hope this helps!

Question 7

age 58 im taking clavix 75 ( clopidorgel) & rosuvastain 20 mg along with ganoton 150 mg & panticid 40. my acid reflux is getting worse. cant stop belching & burping. sometimes shortness of breath. could it be side effects from these med?

Accepted Answer

: I have no experience with ganatan &amp; can't get a sense of its possible side effects. I have a lot of experience with your other meds &amp; haven't seen many gi side effects although I suspect any of them can cause some degree of bloat &amp; feeling need to burp. You could try taking them with food or you could try taking simethicone or mylanta 1/2 hour after meals as an antacid &amp; gas preventative.

Question 8

can uti cause burping and shortness of breath?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Unlikely to produce these symptoms, assuming this is lower urinary tract infection. If you have upper tract infection you should be seen by a doctor immediately.  Sounds like something else is going on and it would be helpful to be fully evaluated.

Question 9

can the symptoms of acid reflux be similar to copd ie shortness of breath chest discomfort burping?

Accepted Answer

Acid reflux: symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and burping.  These symptoms are more similar to those experienced due to heart disease (angina, heart attack) than to symptoms of COPD.  There may be some overlap with symptoms from all three conditions.  If a person is unsure about what may be causing these type of symptoms, there should be a medical workup to determine the origin.

Question 10

i have no acid reflux symptoms except for i can burp nonstop.  recently i've noticed a sensation of shortness of breath.  hiatal hernia??

Accepted Answer

GERD: The belching and substernal symptoms with shortness of breath are findings seen in  many cases of reflex esophagitis and hiatal  hernia.  Inflammation of  lower esophagus is frequently associated with shortness of breath due to substernal extension of the inflammation. Omeprazole is used to treat these symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux .
