What Is The Cause Uneasiness Inside Throat And Some Pressure Under The Lowest Rib?
I am 29 year old indian male working in IT. For the last 3-4 days I am feeling like something got stuck inside my throat. After surfing through internet, I found it might be due to acid reflux which I had already suffered in past. Hence, I am having the medicine for acid-reflux and gargling with salted warm water twice a day but the felling of uneasiness in throat still persists.
Apart from this, in late afternoon or evening, I feel some pressure under the lowest rib which probably a sign of formation of gas.
Could you please help.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
Your problem is most likely gastroesophageal reflux.For my patients with such conditions i advise to take proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole and antiemetic domperidone for 2 to 4 weeks.It is also advised to avoid spicy and oily foods,drinking excessive cold or excessive hot drinks.Avoidance of alcohol is also preferred. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
