i am a 52 year old woman who smokes 10 cigarettes a day and drinks only occasionally and rarely much.  i am overweight by about 4/5 stone. recently having trouble with breathlessness, not so much  when walking etc but with lifting heavy items. some mornings when i wake the area around my eyes is badly swollen (above and below).  i am having problems with burping, i cant burp until i feel really bloated and then only if i lean forward and to the left or lay on my left side. i can hear my chest wheezing occasionally during the day and always when i lay down at night.  i get what feels like palpitations from time to time, just for about 10 seconds heart kind of fluttering. have been to docs who told me:i have suddenly become allergic  to  my haireveryone gets windmy lungs are perfecti have a hiatus hernia which i should ignore as there is no treatment i actually feel tired, out of breath and unwell all the time but dont want to go back to docs as i came away feeling i had wasted his valuable time

### output:

Hi and welcome in ChatDoctorI can understand your concern. As you explain the history you do not have done any test. First I will recommend some tests like:Spirometry testEKGChest x hayrick Westland after having the above results we will have an answer for your complaints. Hiatus hernia can play a role in your breathlessness but not so much. If the results are positive you can try inhalers (like Ventolin) several times per day and antihistamine medications. But it is your doctor that should decide exactly the treatment if it will be needed. I encourage you to lose weight and stop smoking. Best regards Chat Doctor.
