Question:
Why do I always feel that i have something stuck in my throat and a heartburn??
For about half a year i have been noticing that something is stuck in my throat. When i swallow spit, i feel that something is in there. And after i eat a meal when i burp sometimes the food just comes out as it is just near my throat! I cannot understand what it might be! I also have heartburn alot! This doesnt cause pain but I really dont like to feel this! Is this serious or not? I haven't talked to the doctor yet!
Answers:
Yes, it can be serious. Sounds like you may have a hiatal hernia going full blast with acid reflux. If not taken care of properly, the untreated acid reflux can cause many conditions with the most serious being cancer of the esophagus. I was recently diagnosed with "Barrett's Esophagus" and that can lead to cancer. Please check it out more on www.webmd.com
