Large meals are not easily tolerated when there is a lung problem, if you start to notice these and other symptoms more often I would mention them to your doctor. Fizzy drinks can also have this affect so you may want to be aware of that.
Its nice to have a meal out though 
Hi Louise, This always happens to my husband! We were out on Saturday night - had a lovely meal with friends that went on too long! When we got out of the restaurant he was very SOB and needed a good 5 minutes to recover. This has happened regularly for a couple of years. I think it has definitely something to do with eating too much - better to eat a little ! and he also finds it quite stressful at the end of a meal saying goodbye to everyone. Just because he is trying to regulate his own breathing after been sat down, the change of temp. to outside and trying to say good bye. Much better if we eat earlier rather than later and little rather than a big heavy meal. BUT we still keep going out! Just need to find your own comfortable levels and take the stress out of life as much as possible. Take care lots of love TAD xx

Thanking I will mention to my doc as I'm seeing him tomoz,but on thinking back it's beefing happening for a year or two,but it's starting to put me off going for a . Meal if this is allways the outcome ,
in reply to
No don't let it affect your life!!! If you enjoy going out - do it, it would be more miserable if you didn't. AND I am probably exaggerating it doesn't happen every time! We have just learned to choose restaurants that are on the flat - (nightmare if the toilets are up 3 flights of stairs or the entrance!) - make sure there is good parking. We try to leave the restaurant after everyone else - dont have to worry about other people watching us! PLEASE try to continue to enjoy life! Look after yourself and take care, TAD xx

I have hiatus hernia problems. You already have had some excellent advice so I hope I dont repeat what has already been said. I get on better with two starters. I seldom eat out in the evening. What really gets me, apart from the quantity, are fish and chips which will always be thrown up. I do find I get even more breathless, and even more difficulty walking. after eating.
All the best, Louise. Love Annieseedx

Yes that's it ,the walking out of the restaurant. To the car bit,ud have thought Id just smoked 10capstan full strength,it was only a couple of mins but felt like an eternity thanks love no doubt it'll sort itself out,I was very anxious before I'd left the house,do that didn't help,if I get out of comfort zone iv had it
in reply to
fish chips is a no for me,i gey cod fillets no batter at Iceland its the batter an grease of chips,all food done in oven or boiled an yes small portions
Digesting the food uses extra oxygen which may or may not have some impact. I tend to also go for two starters and try to leave as long as possible between eating and having to get up and leave.
Thank ou,
Hi Louise, I know just what you mean. I began suffering with this problem 4yrs ago and thought I would never enjoy a meal out again. I decided I would try ordering small portions and it worked. I can even enjoy a glass of wine or 2, but do not overdo the wine or you will have reflux. Hope this works for you. Take care Maximonkey

Thank you love xxx
I was diagnosed a few years back with hiatus hernia stayed loyal to meds until I had cramps etc so stopped....have not taken for couple years and all was well until a new symptom appeared.... and has been going on for couple of months....palpitations after eating....which last almost the whole day.....apart from frightening they are a nuisance had ecg and doc sounded heart and put me back on esomeprazole 40 mg a day it is not helping at all and I find these attacks quite scary.....and was wondering if a larger dose would make them abate....I am going on holiday soon and dread seven days of palpitations....of course not knowing if it is the hernia or something else just adds to the distress....thank you for you reply if you have had this symptom
