Does anyone else have this? I was diagnosed with this 5 years before COPD diagnosis last year. I definitely think it has an affect on breathing. I quit smoking when i was 30, for the most part and was never a heavy smoker. I was fine for many years (I am now 51). Pulmonologist suggested this to me 5 years ago. Anyway, went on acid reducers and everything was better for a long time. Now, Im struggling to breathe again, but not currently taking acid reducers. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
