I have bronchiectasas, hiatus hernia and asthma. Interesting to read about breathlessness. I have always blamed my lungs. I do get heartburn and acid reflux if I eat unwisely. My emoprozale was changed to other medication recently (conflicting med.) The acid can affect the lungs apparently.

Like you I am on lansoprazol, I had acid build up so much it was affecting my stomach,I have found that I can eat anything without fear of acid. If you know it works go back to it.

I use Lansoprazole too, which works most of the time. After talking to my nurse I use Gaviscon Advance after meals when the acid is really bad and it works every time.
