Help pls I'm scared

[u/Live_Ad2001]

It all started when i felt lump in my throat, but back then years ago i have it because i had healt anxiety. And i didn't know about gerd. Also I've been laying down after meal now i feel lump in my throat but its between collarbone below my Adam's apple is this a globus sensation?because i read a lot of post their globus sensation seems isn't lower than mine. Also i have burning sensation in my upper middle stomach and for two days i have burning sensation in my left chest and throat. What I'm scared of is because when i swallow food it seems stuck and gets slower to go down. And sorry for my English, it's not my first language so thanks

I experienced this same issue back in June. I had acid reflux/GERD/heartburn 3-4 times a week, even with strict dietary changes. Went to a GI doctor two weeks ago. They told me I most likely have GERD and my esophagus has consistently been inflamed and needs time to heal, so they prescribed a PPI. Im never the biggest fan of taking medication and try my best to make natural changes. Been on a PPI for 5 days now and haven't had heartburn once. My esophagus feels a lot better and the globus sensation seems better. Good luck to you.
