Hi have had breathing problems especially when lying down. My stomach is very distended. I am on omeprazole and renitidine as my GP thinks I have acid reflux. My breathing can get bad and I feel very dizzy. I find it hard to sleep as I struggle to breathe. It is not asthma and my heart is fine. What could it be.
