Today I feel acidity and I feel uncomfortable and felt shortness in breathing, so I want to ask that is this shortness of breath symptoms related with the acidity or anything else?

Question

Hi, having acidity for longer duration is actually something to be treated with caution. It can lead to some complications. Having sever acidity can sometimes cause pain that will resemble chest pain and shortness of breath, which was probably experienced by you now. And you are at younger age, acidity during this age may be mainly do to your food habits and junk foods. Eating food at regular intervals is very important. Also, keeping track on what you are eating is also utmost important. You can share your full medical details for further queries and treatment through online consultation with me. Thank you :-)

It can be. But need details of case to rule out other causes. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water.10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gym etc.For more details, you can consult me.
