  5. I'm having these weird episodes where I feel short of breath, even after just drinking or eating small amounts. It's been going on for about a week or so. Could this have anything to do with my weight? I'm around 85 kg now, but back in 2016 when I weighed 87 kg, I didn't experience this. Do you have any idea what might be happening?

Shortness of breath after eating or drinking, even in small amounts, can be related to factors like acid reflux, digestive issues, or even weight-related pressure on the diaphragm. Its important to check with a doctor to rule out underlying conditions, especially if its been persistent for a week or more. Your weight could play a role, but other causes need to be explored.
