Question 5

i feel something in my esophagus recent weeks. at first i only felt it after having dinner, recent days i feel something below my throat in the upper chest all day while i swallowing. and i feel chest congested when taking a deep breath.

Accepted Answer

GERD: It is difficult to define the cause without an exam, but your problem could be from an inflammation of the esophagus.  With gastroesophageal disease (GERD) the acids in the esophagus can leak from the esophagus and go into the trachea.  In the trachea, the leaked fluid can cause an inflammation from the trachea and into then lungs.

Possibly serious : Your complaints are typical for an esophageal problem which could be easily evaluated by a gastroenterologist or surgeon. Unfortunately other mid chest pains from heart, lung, stomach and arteries can mimic these symptoms; it is important that you seek immediate care with your primary for a proper evaluation.

Question 8

inflamed esophagus,  ppi make me feel ill. will zantac (ranitidine) 300mg a day heal it the same?

Yes: It's highly effective, though not as potent as a ppi. That said, it works well for many people. I think it's entirely reasonable to try it.

Question 9

can burping all day almost every 1 hr to 2  hrs for a day will it damage my esophagus?can i have cancer bec.of that?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: Hyperacidity.  You may want to be checked, but consider taking otc ranitidine while you are waiting, 150 mg, twice daily. Reflux may be a cause of barrett's esophagus and a risk of esophageal cancer.
