Hello,
With the question “Hot neck, shortness of breath when having acid reflux, is it okay? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your symptoms may be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease includes lifestyle changes, dietary changes, medical treatment, surgical treatment and other procedures.
Non-drug method is always recommended by doctors to their patients. A reasonable lifestyle or a scientific diet significantly reduces the frequency of gastroesophageal reflux:
Should eat in small meals. It is recommended to eat more often than to eat small meals for people with signs of gastroesophageal reflux. Choose alkaline, acid-neutralizing foods such as starchy foods (bread, oatmeal) or easily digestible proteins. Limit foods that stimulate acid secretion or stimulate the lower esophageal sphincter: Fruits with high acid content (lemon, orange, pineapple, ...) and less dairy products. Reduce the use of high-fat foods; spicy food. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, carbonated drinks, do not use stimulants. Maintain a reasonable weight, not to be overweight or obese. Do not lie down or work immediately after eating. Relaxing and reducing stress can clearly reduce the symptoms of GERD. If your symptoms of GERD appear frequently and do not improve, you should visit a gastroenterology medical facility for timely examination, advice and treatment.
If you still have questions about difficulty breathing when you have acid reflux, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
