Hi,

I am having breathing problems after 1 hr of eating food items of high protein and high fat from the last 3 months.
My lungs are not able to expand fully to inhale.
I have trouble in exhaling also.

I had visited gastroenterologist one month back and had endoscopy. In that report it found that i had linear erosions at lower end of esophagus- Grade A Esophagitis.

Is this esophogitis is the reason for my breathing problem?

Does this inflammed esophogus press/interfere with trachea/lung to create my lung problem.

I am a asthma patient from the last 15 years.But i don't see any asthma symptoms when i have this breathing problem.

Doctor prescribed me nexpro 40 mg /day for 3 months. I have completed one month now and i don't
have any improvement in my breathing problems and this nexpro is causing some side effects such as mouth sores and tight motions. Now i am taking Homeopathy medicine and taking nexpro alternate days.

Can some one suggest me how to heal my problem quickly as i have been suffering from it from the last 3 months.

Thanks,
Swaroop

I'm sorry that I don't have any answers for you. Do you still experience the breathing issues when you don't eat something that is high in protein or fat? Have you contacted your doctor and asked him if the Nexpro has any side effects related to breathing issues, and have you asked him about you changing the dosage to alternating days? He may suggest changing the PPI to another brand. The mouth sores may be directly related to the esophagitis. You might want to schedule an appointment to see your lung specialist about the breathing issues.

i still have breathing issues when i don't eat high fat/protein but not severely. Problem is very mild at this time.

I would temporarily cut back on the high fat and protein and see if that gives you some relief. I would still contact your doctor about whether Nexpro has any side effects dealing with breathing issues.

In my case no matter what I eat I have some breathing issues after a meal, I feel like a lack of breath, like my throat is closed and I just can't inhale well, I've tried with different PPI's combinations and just didn't worked, it must be an esophagitis symptom, hope you find something that make you feel better
