Throat tightness& pulling sensation
I feel like my throat is pulling from inside and throat is tight,if something is obstructing my throat...But when Endoscopy done there was nothing except Esophagitis Grade A due to GERD...I am on Pantocid early morning and MUCAINE gel! Please tell me how to relieve this throat tightness. I have attached my UGIE report
Hi! Sometimes patients with GERD have acid reflux in their throat as well which leads to these symptoms that you’re feeling right now. Usually we suggest double dose of antacid tablet, one in morning and other in night along with antacid syrup for minimum of 6 weeks. Along with that you have to follow some lifestyle changes like 1. Small frequent meals every 4-6 hourly 2. Frequent sips of water 3. Brisk walk after 1 hour of each meal 4. Sleeping with pillow under head 5. Avoid spicy and fast food
