I'm having a tough time with acidity. I've been dealing with a burning sensation in my upper stomach and it often makes me feel breathless. Sometimes I even have to catch my breath, and I've noticed this happening for about 6 years now. There's occasionally a wheezing sound and I often feel bloated too. Could all these symptoms be connected and what should I do about it?

View allI'm feeling some tightness in my throat that started about 23 weeks ago. There's no pain, and I can swallow and eat without any issues, but it constantly feels like something's stuck in there. Could this be from muscle tightness or maybe something gastric? It's been more than two weeks now, and I'm wondering what I should do next. Which type of doctor should I consult for this? Also, I live around Haralur Road and Sarjapur Road in Bangaloreany nearby doctor recommendations would be really helpful.
It is possible that the sensation of tightness in your throat could be due to muscle tightness or a gastric issue such as acid reflux. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon syrup 10-15ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for relief. If the symptoms persist after trying these medications, you may consult an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) for further evaluation

I've been dealing with acidity for the past year, especially in the mornings. I've tried a bunch of medicines, and while they help, I end up feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
To alleviate morning acidity and weakness, consider the following: modify your diet by avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or citrusy), eating smaller, more frequent meals, and incorporating alkaline-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains); in addition to antacids or acid reducers, try natural remedies like ginger, aloe vera juice, or licorice tea;

I'm getting this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat. It's odd because I haven't eaten anything that could actually get stuck. Could this be related to GERD or might it be something different? Any ideas on what's going on?
It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which can sometimes cause a feeling of something stuck in the throat. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums (calcium carbonate) or Maalox (aluminum hydroxidemagnesium hydroxide) to help reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can try using H2 blockers such as Zantac (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec (omeprazole) to further reduce acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
