I have been to my regular doctor, another general MD, an allergist and a GI doctor. A couple of them said they thought it was acid reflux and nerves. Can acid reflux cause shortness of breath? In addition, I have had chest x rays, that have shown no congestion or other respiratory illness. I have a lot of stomach problems as well- nausea, abdominal cramps, etc.. and not much of an appetite.
PS I am under a lot of stress..
Any thoughts on this "mystery discomfort" would be appreciated.
