there are several possible conditions that can cause symptoms like you are describing. one possibility is esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus). it commonly caused by acid reflux. there are over- the counter acid reducer medications called h2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors that can help acid reflux symptoms. symptoms like you are describing can also be caused by a side effect of certain medications. some medications that can cause these symptoms include ibuprofen naproxen aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs. the antibiotic doxycycline and the bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis can also cause similar symptoms. there are some less common but serious conditions that could also cause symptoms like you describe such as certain infections or tumors. it is important for you to see a doctor if your symptoms persist for an examination and medical evaluation. i had no idea that anti inflammatory medicines could cause inflamation. i don't take them all the time but i do probably 4 times a week or so. i will try to elimate those. i take over the counter anti acid pills and those aren't helping. thank you for your information.
i feel like something is caught in my esaphgus. i burp all the time and it's really uncomfortable. i feel full almost immediately it hurts to eat more than a few bites. it's not my stomach it's more in my chest area. i eat tums and anti acid pills daily but it's not helping. is there anything that you can suggest?
