Have Acid Feeling Accompanied By Something In Throat. Suggestions?
Have been having a feeling of acid(not like heartburn , a bit higher in the chest ) accompanied by the feeling of something in my throat . This often makes me gag or dry heave, and a small to moderate amount of mucus is expelled. This is very uncomfortable and is often worst in the first 2 hours that I am awake. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thank you

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The ideal course will be to see a gastro-enterologist and have an Upper GI Endoscopy.
In the mean time PPI like omeperazole and pro-kinetic agents like domperidone can help.
Eating smaller feeds each time, sleeping with head end elevated, last food 3 to 4 hours before sleep, weight reduction and so on help.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
