Possibly: Everything they tell you is right. Buspirone is commonly used for anxiety. It very, very rarely (.07%) has acid reflux as a side effect. Acid reflux often causes disturbed breathing as lungs try to discharge acid fumes that irritate them. If the reflux improves, so should the breathing. How's the anxiety? Try adding CBT it will teach you skills for dealing w/ it. Best!
