Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. The âblock or jamâ feeling between the upper abdomen and chest can be quite distressing and may occur due to issues related to the stomach or food pipe, even when heart tests are normal.
1. Advices
Take meals in smaller portions and avoid lying down for at least two to three hours after food.
Raise the head end of the bed slightly while sleeping and avoid spicy or heavy meals at night.
Continue one single acid medicine such as Razo L before breakfast daily for at least two weeks without changing brands frequently.
2. What to Monitor
Whether the sensation worsens after food or while lying flat.
Any new symptom such as pain radiating to the back or unexplained vomiting.
3. Management
Since endoscopy showed gastric redness and erosion but no hiatal hernia, yet the symptom persists, it is still possible that a small sliding hernia was missed. Such small hernias may not always appear during endoscopy.
You may go for a Barium Swallow Test, which gives a clearer picture of small or intermittent hernias. If that is normal and the discomfort continues, an esophageal manometry test can be considered later.
Till then continue the acid medicine regularly and follow lifestyle precautions.
4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If the sensation turns into chest pain or breathlessness.
If there is repeated vomiting or black colored stools.
If the abdominal pain becomes constant or severe.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, it is important to discuss your medical history and reports in detail.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
