I'm curious about something I've been feeling recently. Whenever I drink water, I can actually feel it moving down through my chest, and there's this cool sensation that accompanies it. Swallowing isn't an issue, but I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is normal. Can you help me understand this?

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?
it is due to acid reflux You seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits

I'm dealing with hyperacidity and GERD for the past couple of years and have been on PPI meds for about a year and a half. I've tried different PPIs and regularly see my gastroenterologist, but my symptoms always seem to come back just a week or two after stopping the meds. Is taking PPI the only way to treat this, or are there other options I could consider?

Try relaxation methods like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. 2. *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help improve sexual performance and reduce stress. 3. *Try pelvic floor exercises*: Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles can help you control ejaculation. 4. *Consider couples therapy*: A therapist can help you and your partner work through any relationship issues that may be contributing to PE. *Penis Size* 1. *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can help support overall health, including penis health. 2. *Avoid smoking and excessive drinking*: These habits can damage blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the penis. 3. *Manage stress*: High stress levels can lead to hormonal imbalances, which can affect penis size. *General Health* 1. *Get regular check-ups*: Consult your doctor about any concerns you have, including PE and penis size. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
