Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your question fully and understand your concerns.


The symptoms that you describe could be due to GERD (Gastro-reflux esophageal disease), where the stomach acids go up into your food pipe and cause scarring to the lower end of food pipe. You could try a proton-pump inhibitor like Lansoprazole 30 mg once a day or Rabeprazole 20 mg once a day for 2 weeks and see. If the symptoms still persist, kindly see your doctor for further evaluation.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you

Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
