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.

I'm feeling this pain just under my left ribs that kind of feels like a cramp and it extends to my back. It's been like this for two days and hasn't gotten any better. Now there's also a tingling sensation along the base of my ribs and on the right side above my waist. What could this be?

Ecg and x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
