Stress causes GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). And GERD is worsening by heavy meals.So your breathing difficulty is mostly due to stress and GERD.For stress, consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Counselling sessions along with anxiolytic drug (nexito) is beneficial for stress management.For GERD, avoid hot and spicy food, avoid junk food, avoid large meals. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
