I'm having a really hard time breathing because of this gas and my chest feels really heavy. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been eating and sleeping well, and now I've got this terrible gastric problem. Can you help me figure out how to ease this?

I've been dealing with GERD and a left-sided hernia near my navel for about a year now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I'm considering surgery for both issues what are my options to get back to living normally?
For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD

I've been having some health issues since June 10th. Initially, it was mild but seems to have gotten worse. I even got a COVID test done on June 17th, and thankfully it was negative. The main issues are shortness of breath, especially after meals or some physical activity, a feeling of choking in the throat just below my neck, constant burping throughout the day, and weakness. Oddly enough, I sleep well and feel alright for about a couple of hours during the day. I saw a Pulmonologist on the 30th, and after doing some tests like Echo, X-ray, and HRCT, the report didnt show anything serious. They prescribed Montair Fx, Mucotab ET 600mg, PAN D, and Etilaam. But it's been 8 days on these meds with no real improvement. Im starting to worry. Could you suggest which type of doctor I should consult next?
"Based on your symptoms and the medications you have been prescribed, it seems like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with some respiratory symptoms. Since you have already seen a Pulmonologist and undergone tests which did not show anything serious, you may consider consulting a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Regarding your current medications: 1. Montair Fx (Montelukast + Fexofenadine) - Take it daily for allergies and respiratory symptoms. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 2. Mucotab ET 600mg (Etophylline + Theophylline) - Take three times a day for respiratory symptoms. Dosage: 600mg three times a day. 3. PAN D (Pantoprazole) - Take it twice a day for acid reflux. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 4. Etilaam - Take it once at night for anxiety or sleep issues. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. Since you have not seen improvement after 8 days of medication, it would be advisable to follow up with a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. They can provide additional guidance and treatment options for your symptoms."
