Slight shortness of breath

2018-11-15 12:38:43
I am having slight shortness of breath. It is not severe but I cannot breathe as well as I could before. I am not overweight. I have been experiencing what might be gastroesophageal reflux disease, or acid reflux. I am not sure if it has somehow impact my lungs, as I know it is possible with people with GERD. I was given medication for GERD (Ranitidine), and it has helped me with my heartburn and such. But will this improve my breathing problems? I need to know what I can do to fix this, I do not want it to worsen.
