I feel something like a ball rolling in my chest, especially after eating for the past few weeks. I ve taken tumps but not sure if they help all the time. Almost like I keep swolling something down the from path. could it be heartburn or something?
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion it is mostly GERD A ( Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease ). But we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG and if this is normal than no need to worry. This is because of GERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed.
