Tension,stress: I doubt that GERD is responsible for these symptoms which are very characteristic of chronic stress and tension. I recommend stress management coaching , but you should discuss this with your physician as he/she knows all your history and findings.

A 22-year-old male asked:
Throat always feels tight (choking feeling) when singing, talking not talking etc and the intensity varies daily and has been persistent for at least a year. What could this possibly be? Is it anxiety issues? It goes away with a muscle relaxer?

Hiatal Hernia since 2015. Just started having more problems suddenly. Throat red from acid, chest pain after eating, and LOTS of burping. Nothing helps. 2 Protonix and 1 Pepcid doesn't help. How do I know if it's stuck? The pain is pretty bad?
