Suggest Cause For Lump In Throat With Indigestion And Shaky Legs

I thought I was suffering from an infection the past week ... it was a little hard to swallow, like there's a lump at the back of my throat. Tonight I had strong indigestion, and now I feel quite shaky and my legs feel weak when I stand. What's wrong?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Possibly you had some gasatro esophageal reflux with hyperacidity which gave you such sensation of a lump at the back of your throat. This could also be a symptom of amebiasis to which you mentioned as indigestion.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a ENT check up, and also a stool test for ova and cyts, and treat if positive. If no relief, then I would not hesitate to refer you to a gastro enterolotist who might consider you for an endoscopic evaluation. Till then you could go for a proton pump inhibitor drug.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
