I have been getting a slight heartburn sensation for approx. 1-1/2 weeks off and on throughout every day. There is also a feeling of something stuck at the base of my throat in the hollow on occasion. The heartburn is not consistent with anything in particular (e.g. food, drink, lying down, etc.). I recently had a CT to check my complete chest to lower abdominal area, whicChatDoctore back normal. An U /S in the recent past noted a couple of tiny stones in my gallbladder. I had this same situation some years ago which eventually disappeared. I am at as to what other searches I can do for these symptoms. I am wondering if gallstones (even if tiny) can bring on symptoms of this nature. Where do I go from here.
Hello Heart burn and constrictive feeling in throat may be due to gastroesophageal reflux. It is most likely not related to gall bladder calculi. You may need upper GI endoscopy. You may need combination medicine of proton pump inhibitors and risperidone. You also need definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus i, e surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy). Gall bladder calculus is prone to infection and obstruction, so it is advised to get rid of calculus early. Take Care Chat Doctor.
