Question: Had ankle surgery on two fracture on 3-9-2015, then around 3-16-2015 starting experiencing difficulty swallowing, breathing . Had cast removed on 3-23-2015 trouble sleeping been sleeping maybe 3 hours been having chest pain on right not severe, when start to dose off get awaken by gasping feeling in throat. Having swelling on my left side of ankle have to keep ankle up and just started walking with ankle brace, lately my tooth been extremely swollen . Also when I eat feel something stuck n my throat severe throat dryness so constantly taking cough drops and when I eat feel cant catch breath til after I make myself belch feel better with breathing again but sometimes takes a while. Its been hard to sleep with this feeling gasp for breath like something caught in my throat . Had barium swallow test they say nothing wrong with it. Been taking "Nexium" to see if helps my reflux in something the ENT doctor told to have plus she said had slight inflammation but she never gave me anything. Horrible doctor Don't think Nexium is ever been the solution cause hasn't resolved my issue.
Need a doctor that can pinpoint reason having this condition. Is there a specialist of all the fields in one that could see ? Live in Queens, NY 11434
is this a neurological problem and could it be something else .

Brief Answer:
some more work up: internal medicine doctor visit advisable
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The symptoms you are having may be related to a problem in chest, abdomen or throat.
It may be a pleurisy, an acid peptic disease, reflux or problems in throat like mucositis or thrush.
I would like you to have upper GI endoscopy and a throat examination by ENT doctor to be repeated.
Meanwhile continue Nexium.
Also start a syrup of Iron and multivitamin to help a mucositis if cause of the trouble.
If thrush or other issues detected then treatment will need to be updated.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.

Could be feels mucusy in throat area and consistently try to spit out
Tonight when woke up felt like something popped like on right side of throat It's getting aggravating no one telling what it is
3-20-2015 went to hospital they did catscan and X-ray of chest and throat nothing came up they claim. Can I email you the 8 pages the ER
Sent you my hospital catscan and X-rays throat and chest
Tonight felt like some little bubble busted on right of throat
Before surgery was having a post nasal drip but now my sinuses don't feel like before the surgery
Something effected during tube in throat or something else even though my X-rays don't say anything. Don't understand if ENT said have inflammation why she didn't give me anything but all she did was order a catscan

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back.
If the bad things in throat started after the tube for surgery then there may be tracheitis or local injury or tracheomalacia.
A bronchoscopy is advisable to see for these problems.

Brief Answer:
revisit to ENT
Detailed Answer:
Hi Luzgard
Welcome back.
Cancer do not grow that fast and is not painful in the starting.
If you are having local pain around base of tongue then it is bright idea to revisit ENT for this specific complaint.
Pain killer combination with spasm relieving medicine may help you.
Please get the drugs prescribed by local clinician.
Take care.
