A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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!
