symptoms it seems some describe as being short of breath, air hungry or difficulty taking a deep breath. Have you had any stomach aches with this --what you describe could also be esophageal symptoms (heaviness in chest and heartburn like feelings) Have over the counter heartburn medications helped(if you have taken them?)

Her2neu seems to be necessary to repair GI injury (just as it appears necessary to replace upper respiratory and airway cells). If you look at the thread I started regarding herceptin side effects real or imagined you might find others with similar symptoms.

Hope this helped!
