What Causes Burning In The Throat Along With Pressure In The Chest?
I have a burning in my throat a lot of the time. Once in a while it is bad enough it feels like it chokes me. The Dr. put me on Omeprozole. I hate to take the Omeprozole since it blocks the absorption of calcium which I need because I have osteopenia. I m also experiencing a heaviness and some pressure in my chest and irregular heart beats. So is that from my acid reflux or my heart? Puzzled! Any suggestions?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest to continue the use of Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning before breakfast. I also suggest using Maalox. I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
