Your symptoms sounds like you may be allergic to contents in the milk.
Switch to Soya milk and see if your symptoms settle.
All the best.

This is most likely lactose intolerance or milk allergy–related acidity/gas causing bloating and breathlessness.
Try this:
Avoid milk for 1–2 weeks → see if symptoms stop.
If you need to take milk:
Tab. Lactase enzyme (e.g., Lactaid, Lactase drops) before drinking milk – helps digestion.
If acidity/bloating occurs:
Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily (before breakfast, 5 days) or
Simethicone 80 mg after food for gas relief.

It is very likely that you are experiencing lactose intolerance or milk-related acidity, both of which can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, chest discomfort, weakness or a heavy feeling soon after drinking milk.
This does not mean there is a problem with your lungs or heart - it is a reaction from your digestive system.
Why it happens:
1. If your body does not break down lactose properly, it produces excess gas, bloating and pressure under the diaphragm.
2. This pressure can temporarily make breathing feel difficult and create a feeling of weakness or discomfort.
3. Some people also get reflux after milk, which can cause the same sensation.
Next Steps
• Stop plain milk for a few days and see if symptoms disappear.
• You can switch to
lactose free milk,
curd,
buttermilk,
paneer.
These are easier to digest.
• If you want to continue milk, take lactase enzyme tablet (like Lactase/Laczyme) just before drinking milk.
• If acidity is also present, take Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 5–7 days.
• Eat smaller, lighter meals and avoid lying down immediately after drinking milk.
Health Tips
If you have breathlessness even when not drinking milk, chest pain while exertion, fever or wheezing — in that case further evaluation is needed.
