Breathing discomfort
My father is 79 yrs old, was admitted in a hospital last month with breathing problem after afternoon sleep. ECG, Echo, Chest X-ray, BNP were all normal. Endoscopy showed gastric erythema and erosions, RUT negative. He was discharged with Voltapraz 20 (empty stomach morning) and Sucral-O after lunch. He has been taking these for 1 month, but still often gets breathing problem after lunch + nap. His motion does not clear fully every day, sometimes only partly, and he also gets stomach pain at times.
Hi . All your father symptoms, that is mostly on afternoon, after lunch could be reflux of food.
Ask him to lie down only after 1 hour of erect posture .
Avoid fatty meal
Bland diet could help him .
If not , contact your doctor , he may need esophagus motility check
