Hello Barnes6660 sounds the same as I my symptoms you have to address the reflux how I did it was started drinking celery juice first thing in the morning this will help your stomach acid and help your reflux then look at magnesium deficiency and symptoms of magnesium deficiency also vitamins d3 k2mk7 and b12 and look at zinc and vitamins c lots of fruit and veg in your diet good luck

Trim bow can help but does cause stomach problems bloating pain unfortunately I spent 2weeks as in patient cause inflamed bowel so please if you have stomach pain be careful as dr tend to diagnose IBD and give even more tablets to take

I have been through similar symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with Pernicious Anemea , have your GP check your b12 / folate levels . If they are on the low side you may need B12 injections , worth researching this . I’m a member of Pernicious aniemea/ B12 deficiency support group Facebook page run by Pat Kormic , an excellent group who help a lot as many doctors have limited knowledge about PA . Hope you feel better soon .

Hi, This is a progressive disease and may have crept on you without you being fully aware.

There are treatments out there but do be careful with stem cell adverts. They are expensive and often are available on the continent.

To help a little try your local nurse to get you on a rehab course, there they will help with your breathing style.
