Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have throat pain along with palpitations which are pointing towards condition known as GERD. In this condition the acidic content of stomach come back upto pharynx. The symptoms can also occur due to sore throat or cardiac condition like anginaI would suggest you to :-
- Avoid eating spicy and heavy food specially at night .
- Eat at least one hour before going to bed .
- Take antacids like gelusil .
Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy of esophagus , ambulatory acid test and X-ray of digestive system to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out causes like strep throat or laryngitis . Doctor may prescribe proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for throat infection or cardiologist for heart problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
