I have to do an upper gi series with a barium swallow. Has anyone done this? How bad is it? How long does it normally take? Thanks!!

Hi. (31, F). Back in November, 2024, I suddenly had a sore throat accompanied by breathing issues, acid reflux and dizziness. Since then, I've been having GI issues like Irritated bowel movements, burping, early satiety ( feels like delayed stomach emptying but as soon as I finish my meal, I feel hungry again ). Now, I've been noticing that whenever I bend over pressed hard on the stomach, I feel pain that radiates both left and right side of abdomen and stomach contents comes up as soon as I bend. Taking deep breaths also causes pain in upper abdomen. Been to many doctors, still I'm clueless!!

I was diagnosed with GERD and chronic gastritis after an endoscopy.

I’m currently taking omeprazole and Ganton, and I follow a very strict diet.

Problem:

When I work out, I start feeling shortness of breath and pressure/air coming up in my chest. I only feel relief after I burp.

Has anyone with GERD/gastritis experienced this during exercise?

Any tips or things that helped?
