Why am I short of breath after eating?
Shortness of breathe (dyspnea) occurs when you are trying too hard to breathe and there is a feeling that you need to breathe deeper and faster due to shortage of oxygen. It is usually experienced if you are living with COPD, asthma or lung disorders. However, if you experience the same post eating then you may have a food allergy, GERD, hiatus hernia or mild to severe respiratory conditions. Consider consulting a pulmonologist if you suffer from frequent breathelessness post meals.Last updated on 09 Dec 2024
