Neck sideways pressure
Two days ago, I posted here about burning pressure in neck and jaw as if it was suffocating, and I was suggested to go for ECg- i had it done- normal ekg, echo, trop i was 0.001
Now that cardiac issues is cleared, what can cause it? I consulted general physician, and she told me it could be reflux since I have some pain in lower abdomen also.
I have loss of Lordosis as well, but I don't know if it can cause such type of symptom

ECG, echo and troponin 0.001 all normal at 26 - your heart is genuinely fine, stop chasing that. Burning pressure in neck and jaw with upper abdominal discomfort is classic acid reflux; stomach acid irritates the oesophagus which sits right behind the windpipe, so it feels like suffocating. Your posture issue can add to the neck ache but it does not cause burning.
Next Steps
Take pantoprazole 40 mg empty stomach for 4 weeks, dinner at least 3 hours before bed, head end of bed raised, and cut tea, spice, alcohol and late-night eating. At 90 kg, losing 8-10 kg will fix the reflux better than any tablet. If it is not settling in a month, an endoscopy is the next step - you can book a Practo consult with me and we'll decide.

Your history is incomplete, because if you have difficulty in swallowing you also need to get an ultrasound neck to rule out thyroid growths, if clear you need an endoscopy
