can I ask what a iqoro device is please. I too have a Hiatus Hernia and I’m on every medication I think there is to help it but at times even they don’t help much.

It sounds like the hernia and reflux are the root of your problems, as per the advice you’ve had previously from members on here, Bryan. To answer your question, I think your doctors are confident it’s not a lung issue based on your various, previous test results and the fact that you do have other, medically proven diagnoses that can cause the symptoms you’ve been having. But, hopefully, seeing the respiratory team will finally give you the certainty you need, one way or the other, about your lungs.

From personal experience, I will just say that even when the patient is ultimately right, sometimes pushing and pushing the medics can work against us, rather than help the situation. I’ve found it can be a case of needing to work smarter rather than harder, and that’s sometimes meant ‘playing the game’ to prove the point. Assuming your spirometry is still good, and/or respiratory don’t find anything else of note, then I’d suggest concentrating on getting the gastro side of things and your dysfunctional breathing under control for a bit. If you successfully do that and still find you’re having problems, at least then you can go back to the doctors with proof that it’s not all down to the hernia and reflux.

This may be of no relevance to you, so please ignore if it is.

My late husband used to swell up when he ate milk based foods - he could add 16 inches onto his waist from fluid moving there from other parts of his body. We found out what it was by doing a food diary and then an elimination diet.

To do a food diary, write down the date, time, short description of the food you have eaten and drinks you have drunk, and your symptoms. From that you can spot if you have the same reaction after certain foods or drinks (which may be on a time scale from immediately to several hours), or not.

If you do notice a pattern, ask to be referred to a dietitian and explain why. Your food diary will be useful for helping them make treatment decisions.

Sadly, as we were doing this in the late 1980s to mid 90s, the reaction we got was 'meddling old women going to health food shops' from the health professionals of the time, which is why I then studied dietetics at uni.

I have a small hiatus hernia with reflux . I also have mild COPD and asthma. At times after I eat my tummy is puffed out and I have pain . I kept track of what I ate at dinner. I have a dish with pasta and had those symptoms. Tried some noodles with a meal and once again I looked like I was pregnant🤣🤣 so it's certain carbs that cause this issue with me. The worse of these issues is that I have a hard time breathing when I have these symptoms .I take a few Gas X but it will take several hours to feel better. Good luck with your tests and hope you get answers
