How long does it take for erosive esophagitis to heal caused by Acid Reflux or GERD?

I believe I have erosive esophagitis caused by GERD which is causing shortness of breath. I have been taking generic prilosec for about 1 month now and my symptoms seem to be improving slightly. Does the shortness of breath eventually go away?

    I also have GERD and have been taking generic prilosec for about 3 weeks. I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath/constriction at the base of my throat for almost 6 weeks… it isn’t constant, rather it comes and goes several times a day for hours at a time. I’ve seen a slight improvement over my GERD symptoms while taking meds, however the breathing problems have not changed; I think it is due to esophogeal irritations that need to heal, I’m not sure how long those take to heal but I hope it’s not too much longer. It’s really frustrating to deal with this! Let me know if you’ve had any success!
