What Causes Throat Discomfort And Heartburn?
I have been having a feeling like something is stuck in my throat or lower, it doesn t sound like heartburn because it doesn t burn - it just feels like something is stuck. I know there is nothing stuck and it s been happening on and off for the past week or so. It has been non stop since yesterday afternoon, this is the longest.

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of throat discomfort and heartburn which could be due to dysfunction of the upper sphincter of the esophagus.
Need not to worry. You should avoid oily and spicy food. I would advise that you get an upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy done to look for the severity of gastritis. You need to reduce the quantity of food taken per meal. While sleeping put two pillows under your head. Take antacid like Milk of Magnesia before meals, take light frequent meals and avoid spicy, heavy and acidic foods. Drink plenty of water and take more of Probiotics in the diet. you should take a diet rich in multivitamins. This all will prevent reflux. Take Pantoprazole. Start taking proton pump inhibitors.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
