Hi,  I am having trouble getting a deep breath EVERY time I eat.  I am currently waiting for surgery to have the hernia repaired.  I thought at first it was just asthma but my puffers make no difference.  I have also tried eno, zantac n rolaids.  Any advice? It is bad enough that I cant even sleep sitting up.
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* This is in relation with possible diaphragmatic issue as there is raised pressure over the diaphragm compressing the lungs when eating or even certain postures will enhance the problem.* Needs proper physical evaluation with necessary radiological evaluation or if done then consultation with all reports. Hope this may help you to understand the doubt. Wishing you fine recovery from the surgery. Feel free to ask any further doubts. Regards .
