I'm sometimes hit with sudden breathlessness, especially after a big meal when my stomach feels really full. This has been going on for around 34 months and I often get these acidic burps. I'm also on medication for panic attacks, taking Serta 100 mg at night. I've also noticed that I've gained weight and my stomach's grown because I haven't been very active. Could this be related to obesity?
