Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation of Yours,You seem to suffer from-Acid reflux with GERD.
Your's being Known Ulcer case,these complaints of tight feeling in chest and throat- indicates that that acid control treatment needs to be reviewed and changed under expert doctors advise.
I would suggest you to have Second opinion from Third party Surgeon/ Physician and review acid controlling treatment which you are taking.
Other causes for these complaints-like IBS and IBD/ anal ailments like fissure in ano/ H.Pylori re-infection / inadequate PPI dosage / Improper diet style/ habits, need to be ruled out before planning any treatment in your case.
