Your upcoming tests will shed light on what is happening. I have similar symptoms and they are very distressing. I wish I could get tests rather than just medication and no joy getting an app with my gastroenterologist. Best wishes for a full diagnosis and treatment.

Sorry to hear this. I also have hiatus hernia where the entire stomach is in my chest cavity making breathing really difficult. Surgery is now not an option. Please don’t end up like me. Seek medical advice without delay
