Are Burning And Choking Sensation In The Throat Symptoms Of GERD Or Acid Reflux?
Hi, I’ve been feeling a burning/chocking sensation in my throat for about two weeks now. I sometimes feel a fullness/ pressure in my chest. I feel it almost all day no matter what. I do have this condition called psvt which is a form of rapid heartbeat. I went to see my cardiologist but he said my heart seemed fine. I don’t know what to take or do. He says he doesn’t feel it’s related, but if it’s not then what am I experiencing ? Heartburn? GERD? Please help
Burning and choking sensation are the symptoms of severe acid reflux also known as GERD. You can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid hot and spicy foods and include more fiber rich foods in your diet. If symptoms are severe you have to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
