Lump-in-throat feeling after eating Rib pain under the breasts Stomach feels hot & uneasy Symptoms worse on an empty stomach but better after eating constipation Also my upper stomach is swollen.

Your symptoms—burning in the chest/throat, sour taste, lump-in-throat feeling, rib pain, bloating, and constipation—suggest a possible recurrence of acid reflux (GERD) or H. pylori-related gastritis. Since you had similar issues before and got relief with treatment, it’s best to get checked again to confirm if the infection is back or if it’s just acid reflux acting up.
Health Tips
Since symptoms are back, it’s best to consult online to decide if another H. pylori test or different treatment is needed. Let’s get you feeling better! 😊

Dear Patient,  Thank you for sharing your symptoms. Based on your description, it appears you are experiencing recurrent symptoms of **acid reflux (GERD)**, possibly due to **H. pylori reinfection** or another underlying issue like gastritis or functional dyspepsia. The burning sensation, sour taste, lump-in-throat feeling (globus sensation), and rib pain are classic signs of acid-related disorders. The fact that your symptoms improve after eating but worsen on an empty stomach further supports this.  Your history of a prior **H. pylori infection* (treated successfully) raises the possibility of reinfection or antibiotic resistance. Constipation and upper abdominal swelling could indicate **gastroparesis* *intestinal motility issues*, or dietary triggers. A repeat *H. pylori stool antigen test* or *breath test is advisable, along with an *upper endoscopyif symptoms persist, to rule out ulcers or inflammation.  Immediate Steps:  1. Diet/Lifestyle: Avoid spicy/acidic foods, caffeine, alcohol, and large meals. Eat smaller, frequent meals.  2. Antacids: Use OTC antacids (e.g., Gaviscon) for temporary relief.  3. **Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)**: If previously prescribed (e.g., omeprazole), resume a short course (1–2 weeks) but avoid long-term use without supervision.  However, self-medication is not safe. Your symptoms require proper evaluation, including potential lab tests or imaging. Recurrent H. pylori needs targeted antibiotics, and persistent swelling may need further assessment (e.g., liver/gallbladder tests).  Consultation Needed Please schedule an appointment with me for a detailed evaluation and tailored treatment plan. For quicker coordination, you can reach me on WhatsApp at Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two.
