Discomfort In Swallowing And Chest Pain Behind Right Breast.History Of Reflux And Vocal Nodules. Feeling Of Mucus In Esophagus. Having Helicobacter Pylori Test, Could This Bacteria Cause These Symptoms?

Hi. I am concerned because I have discomfort swallowing and chest pain behind my right breast. I have a history of reflux and vocal nodules. I also have a feeling of mucus not in the throat but deeper in the oseopheagus or stomach (at times I tend to over swallow and can get panicky). I am having a Helicobacter Pylori test on Friday could this bacteria cause these symptoms? I am 40 years old and very fit and healthy in every other way. Thanks Julie
