[QUOTE=Vanessa74;3379530]Thank you again!
I have had (2) pulmonary function tests and a chest x-ray - nothing showed up and I wish I could be happy about that - but I still can't breath good.
My Dr. put me on Flovent 2 puffs 2 per day and gave me a rescue inhaler just in case. And I have been on that regiment for over 1 1/2 years.....
He started to suspect the GERD/Hiatal Hernia when I kept complaining about the chest tightness....
It is all scary and confusing - thank you for your support!
Listen inhaled steroids makes gerd worst, if you dont have asthma get off of them. I was on advair for 3 weeks for bronchitis and i had alot of chest heaviness, the doctor took me off . she said that these steriods makes gerd worst and leads to breathing difficulties because of it...before I went on advair, the gerd was controlled with zegerid no problems..
