Question 1

gi problem seem cause my sore throat, throat clearing, feeling of lump in throat, difficulty breathing & swallow. can it cause severe chest pain too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, reflux can: Cause significant chest pain. In fact that is the origin of the term heartburn. On the other hand, not all chest pain in people with GERD is GI in origin. If in doubt, go to ER or an urgent care, if this is unlike anything you've experienced before and is accompanied by shortness of breath, cardiac issues need to be checked for and ruled out.

Question 2

chest pain, lump in throat feeling, and flushed/burning sensation in cheeks? weeks ago, had chest pain, hot flash feeling,  numb right arm. 26/female.

Accepted Answer

See your Dr.: If no worrisome family or personal history, could be thyroid issue, but need exam and testing to be sure is not heart-related, or GI source which would need different treatment. If symptoms worsen, go to er for evaluation asap.

Accepted Answer

Be seen: What you are describing medically would be called dysphagia, there are multiple causes.  Among the more common is chronic reflux disease leading to constrict ute of the esophagus.  Consider being seen.  Work up would likely include a swallowing study and an egd.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.

Question 5

Needs workup : Discomfort during swallowing always requires thorough gastrointestinal evaluation, usually endoscopy, to exclude serious conditions.  Would not assume "no gastro problems" without further testing.

Throat: A great number of patients present to the ENT with bumpiness of the back of the throat.  This photograph shows some bumpiness that is associated with lymphoid tissue in the back of the throat.  This type of finding can be associated with irritation from post nasal drip or allergies.  It can also be associated with viral illness and if persistent should see an ENT or PCP.
