All your symptoms â acidity, heartburn, choking feeling in the throat, and weakness â are pointing to GERD (acid reflux). The difficulty in swallowing that only happens when you think about it, and the ENT finding nothing wrong, tells me this is a globus sensation â a very common symptom of GERD and stress where the throat feels tight or like something is stuck, but structurally everything is fine. It is not dangerous. The problem keeps coming back because you're likely only taking medication temporarily and not addressing the root cause. For this to properly settle, you need a full 4-6 week course of a PPI like Pantoprazole 40mg before breakfast, along with lifestyle changes â avoid spicy and fried food, don't eat late at night, don't lie down within 2 hours of eating, and manage stress. Please see a doctor to get this properly prescribed.
