Pressure in the Throat, Heartburn, and Vomit Taste: GERD? Posted: 02-25-06 23:40pm
This has been happening for about a week.
I have an extreme pressure, not painful,
at the very top of my ribs on each side,
right below the clavicle. The pressure is
also in the very center of my clavicle, in
the space right at the bottom of your
throat where it feels soft. It is as if
there is someone standing there. It also
goes right over the top of the collar bone
like a person is digging thier fingers
into it. It is also like if someone is
grabbing my neck bone(trachea?) and
digging thier fingers in like i just got
choked. a feeling of swelling or closing
up also goes up the sides of my neck to
right under the jaw where i can feel my
pulse beating really hard. It is all just
so much pressure there...i feel like i
can't breathe. It comes and goes for a few
hours at a time. I do not notice it as
much if i'm lying very flat sometimes. I
do notice i have some of the sypmtoms of
gerd although i do not know if i really
have it and if this pressure is related. I
taste vomit in my mouth sometimes,
constant cough and throat clearing and
hacking up yellow mucus, and burping with
very occasional heartburn. could this all
be related?

Yes, all the symptoms you’ve described
seem related to GERD. You can visit your
doctor to confirm the reality of the
symptoms (if they are real); perhap the
symptoms are a product of your
psycho-emotive condition.
