Could Breathing Difficulty And Pulsating Sensation In Throat Be Attributed To Reflux?

I have been diagnosed with reflux but manage to keep it under control at most times. Recently I have had a feeling in the upper chest just below the throat. This is not a pain or heartburn as I have felt on previous occasions. Also feel like there is something in my lower throat, along with the need to breathe deeply at times. Also at the point in the throat where I feel like there is something there, I feel like a pulse sensation. Is what I am feeling, related to reflux ? Many thanks Val

Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

Acid reflux disease may csuse more acid back flow towards oesophagus that cause irritation to oesophagus. Acid from stomach coming into oesophagus that cause burning sensation and pain at that site.

Long time acid reflux problem cause damage to epithelium of oesophagus.
So you feel pain at throat area because of this.

Proton pump inhibitor like omeprazol can use.
Do some diet modifications like avoid spicy ,citrus foods.
Drink more water.

Elevate your head at bed time.
Avoid immeadiat sleeping after taking meal.
Avoid alcohol drinking.

Take care.
Thank you very much.
