What Causes Fluttering Feeling At The Bottom Of Esophagus?

I ve been experiencing fluttering kind of feeling at the bottom of my esophagus. it seems to go away when i lay down but returns when sitting or standing. I take pantoprazole for reflux as well as anxiety medications. seems to happen when i have dairy products or spicy foods. thinking of going to have a test done where they look down my esophagus to see whats going on as this has been going on for years

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of possible acid reflux. Should run upper endoscopy and discuss with gastroenterologist for possible treatment.

For the moment, I can only suggest to stay away from foods/drinks that would aggravate/precipitate the symptoms. And do take antacids to stabilize stomach pH.

All the best.
