I have gerd that is not getting better after 2 months. i am on zantac (ranitidine) 150 mg 2x daily. my main difficulties are difficulty breathing and weight loss. ?

GERD??: Shortness of breath and weight loss can be caused by many things. Since it is not improving on anti-reflux med for 2 months, you need further evaluation. A lung doctor may be helpful to figure out what the shortness of breath is from. Are your oxygen levels low? Pulmonary function testing, a CAT scan of the chest, blood work, etc. may be needed. If you smoke, quit ASAP. See lung doctor. Good luck!
