Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation In The Throat, Upper Back And Chest
Question:
I have had a burning sensation in my throath/upper back/chest the last 3 months. I also have had a feeling of hair stuck in my throath. I was afraid that it was allergy to the new dog that i bought around the same time but i have no other symptoms like runny nose or itchy eyes. Phadiatiop test was negative in all allergens. Ive tried omeprazol for a months with no effect and also antihistamine for a few days with no improvement. I have no symptoms during night time nore exactly when i wake up even though i sleep in the same room as the puppy. How likely is that its an allergy reaction to the dog or should a stay with the omeprazol a bit longer in case of heartburn?
Thank you

Brief Answer:
I don't think it is allergic reaction.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, I also don't think that your symptoms are due to allergy.
So allergic symptoms due to puppy is unlikely in your case.
Possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) related symptoms is more.
Only drugs are not enough for complete recovery in GERD.
You have to follow certain lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief.
So continue with omeprazole.
Please let me know
1. How many times in a day you are taking omeprazole?
2. Do you have burping or belching?
Please reply me answer of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I took 20 mg Omeprazol once a day for one, maybe 1, maybe 1 1/2 month. Do you think i should augment the dosis? I dont have any unusual burping. So there is not existing any strange allergy symptoms like inflamed airway tissue with nothing like other typical allergy symptoms? Thank you again :)

Brief Answer:
Yes, you are not obese.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
So you are not obese as your BMI is 20. So you should take omeprazole (20 mg) twice daily.
See, reflux and heart burn need lifestyle modifications for symptomatic relief.
Only drugs are not sufficient.
So I want few information about your lifestyle.
Please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
2. Do you drink alcohol?
Hope you won't mind about my questions.
See I have to ask you questions to identify the risk factors in you so that I can guide you better.
It's absolutely fine if you don't want to answer them.
So please let me know if it is fine with you or not.
Yes, you are not obese.
