I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for about 45 days now, almost like phlegm, but its not food. Its really annoying and I keep burping on purpose to try and get rid of this feeling. I Googled my symptoms and found something called globus pharyngis. I went to see another doctor and they gave me an acid reflux gel syrup, but it hasnt helped at all. I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next. Could you offer some advice or share your thoughts on what might be going on?

I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem. Plus, my blood pressure was pretty low at that time, like 8070. The burning sensation comes and goes, it's not constant throughout the day. Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level is at 66, which seems higher than normal. Everything else like my SGOT at 34 and GGT at 40 is fine. I havent had any alcohol for a month, and I'm thin and didnt work out before the test. Is it a major concern that my SGPT level is elevated? How can I reduce it?
