What Causes Feeling Of Something Stuck In The Throat And Heartburn?
Hi! I am wondering if you have any suggestions to get the feeling like food is "stuck" in my chest as even though I take Prilosec every day, the last 2 days I have had a terrible discomfort of hearburn/GERD. Any advice would be so appreciated! Thank you!
As per your complain feeling of something struck in throat along with heartburn are all signs of Acid reflux or GERD.. I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like upper G.I Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. You can be advised to take Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole.. Take antacids like Milk of magnesia.. Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water.. Always take walk after meals and take your dinner atleast 2 hours before sleep.. You should sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
