Your chest tightness with breathing difficulty that is not responding to inhalers or gastric medication, and is disrupting your sleep, is a symptom that sits at the intersection of three specialties â ENT, gastroenterology, and pulmonology. Given your history of allergic asthma and post-nasal drip from DNS surgery, this is most likely a combination of GERD (acid reflux causing airway irritation) and poorly controlled asthma, but a pulmonologist is the right next step to evaluate your lungs properly with a spirometry test.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation â I can help coordinate which specialist to see and what tests are needed to finally get this resolved.

Based on your dynamic history, your primary consult must be a Pulmonologist (Chest Specialist). You have an underlying medical history of mild allergic asthma, and your persistent chest tightness, daytime breathing difficulty, and disturbed sleep are classic signs of poorly controlled asthma airway hyper-responsiveness
Next Steps
To clinically review your exact inhaler molecule name, evaluate your post-DNS surgery discharge summary, and map out a definitive prescription plan for your airway tightness, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."
