Shortness of Breath is a Stomach Issue

from What's the Root Cause? by Dr Vikki Petersen · host Root Cause Medical Clinic

Your Shortness of Breath IS a stomach issue!If you've suffered from labored breathing, air hunger, breathlessness and the like, you know how concerning it can be.  You may have difficulty getting a deep breath and find yourself breathing shallowly from your chest instead of nice belly breaths.If the symptom has occurred concurrently with heart palpitations or a panic attach, you've likely ended up in the ER or Urgent Care, worried for your life. Once tests have been done and you're told your heart and lungs are fine, you were likely sent home with the diagnosis of a panic attack. You know yourself;  if you're not an anxious person, this diagnosis just doesn't make sense. You are now in the dilemma of knowing something is wrong but you're not getting any corroboration from your doctors.Perhaps you've sought out a pulmonologist (lung doctor), only to be told that your lungs are normal.What is it? The answer lies in your stomach. It sounds odd but your shortness of breath is coming from a spasm of your diaphragm which doesn't allow for normal air flow. The reason your diaphragm is spasmed is due to your stomach pushing up on it. And the reason your stomach is elevated and spasmed has to do with digestive imbalance that you may or not be aware of.Let's face it. Not being able to breathe normally is stressful. Add in some heart palpitations and/or a panic attack and it's down right frightening.You don't need to continue suffering.
