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!
i have had esophagitis for 2 months now. Cant take the meds cause of the side effects. does anybody know if it will heal without meds. I have shortness of breath too.
I have found the only thing that works for me is Nexium. I have esophagitis and gastritis. I have also changed my diet drastically. If it hurts don’t eat it. I tried Prilosec for 6 months because it was cheaper but all it did was make it worse.
I have the same issues…I have had it for 9 weeks…someone PLEASE help. I took all the meds, stopped smoking, drinking, etc. I am only 38 years old and bed ridden for the most part.
