Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem.
The feeling of something stuck in chest is mostly due to esophageal pathology.
Since she is not improving with digestion medication, something organic lesion must be there in esophagus.
So better to consult Gastroenterologist and get done
1. CT neck
2. Upper GI scopy.
She might be having esophageal polyp or mass or achalasia cardia.
So better to first diagnoherherself and then start appropriate treatment.
