Short of Breath

[Chapman76240]

18 months ago I had Nissan Fundoplication surgery to repair a 9 cm Hiatal Hernia. I recently began having extreme amt of gas and my stomach hurting if eating solid food. Now with any activity I am so short of breath that I almost pass out when walking. This started after a bout of flu & bronchitis & lots of coughing. Scheduled for upper GI studies tomorrow.

Hi Chapman

Depends on the current positioning of your stomach and lungs which often are fighting for the same space but post flu & bronchitis, there are a myriad of reasons why you are currently short of breath. Good luck with the studies.

Are you able to burp/belch to relieve trapped wind? It does need proper examination to find out what has been going on, and how the surgery has (or has not) been settling down
