Breathing discomfort
My father is 79 yrs old, was admitted in a hospital last month with breathing problem after afternoon sleep. ECG, Echo, Chest X-ray, BNP were all normal. Endoscopy showed gastric erythema and erosions, RUT negative. He was discharged with Voltapraz 20 (empty stomach morning) and Sucral-O after lunch. He has been taking these for 1 month, but still often gets breathing problem after lunch + nap. His motion does not clear fully every day, sometimes only partly, and he also gets stomach pain at times.
