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

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.
