Jacquie802 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Went to dr bc I have been having shortness of breath. At times I have a severe feeling of bloat in my stomach. I walk around and sometimes can belch a lot, however I haven't really eaten anything for a few hours. Has anyone had help with shortness of breath by taking zantac? Ativan does help a little, but I am still left feeling short of breath.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellysavedbygrace Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 If your shortness of breath is caused by too much histamine in your digestive system Zantac might help. I take a double dose of Pepcid 2x a day which helps me but I take it due to the Mast Cell issue I have. Not sure if it would help you but you could try- probably wouldn't hurt.

brethor9 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I find Zantac is one of my most important meds.....I also have MCAS and for me yes it does help alot with the shortness of breath and other issues......I definately know when I have missed a dose.

Jacquie802 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't think I have mast cell disorder..?? I'll bring it up when I are my new specialist. I have barely eaten today and I am really bloated and belching a lot. All I have eaten today is one small cookie, gold fish crackers, and a half a banana. The bloating is awful and bothers my breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
