What Causes Tightness In Esophagus And Difficulty Breathing?

Hi, Need not worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Possible cause of your symptoms could be
1) acid reflux
2) Allergy (air borne)
3) Cardiac symptoms (unlikely)
4) Anxiety related.
Worthwhile getting an PH Metry test done after consulting your gastroenterologist to look for acid reflux.
In addition can try adding an anti allergic medication (allegra 120 mg once a day) and prokinetic (domperidone 10 mg thrice a day) for 3weeks both of which are easily available over the counter.
Also lifestyle modification will help you.
1) Eating on time
2) Taking adequate sleep
3) Regular walking
4) Avoiding sleep 2 hours after meals
5) Cutting down on stress and anxiety
Getting some basic tests like doing complete blood count, thyroid function test, stool examination will help.
All this will help you to control symptoms in long run.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.
