Hello doctor,I am a 20-year-old female and I weigh 122. I understand that I have anxiety and that I have GERD acid reflux, so I am used to the throat feeling. But today it is different and I feel I have something stuck in my throat and chest near my throat. It does make it hard for me to swallow and I have a dry cough as well. Any advice on how to eat? I am afraid to choke on my food and I have not taken food all day.
Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com. The condition of food getting stuck in the throat with a heaviness of chest are also symptoms of GERD. Hence, along with medication, I need you to change food pattern. 1. Reduce oil and cheese products. 2. Drink 4 liters of water per day. 3. Do not skip meals in a day. 4. Omeprazole is not a powerful antacid. Hence, I suggest you take a higher one.
