For about a week it seems no matter what i eat pieces of food get stuck in my throat where i need to sip water each time to push it down, also food slowly going down, i dont know what exactly caused it, maybe being sick did because i just remember being sick for a week about 3 weeks ago, i was coughing a storm where it felt like it was hurting my throat, about a week or 2 after when recovering it felt like thats when the food getting stuck feeling happened as if my esophagus was damaged, and all of a sudden now when i lay down, flat or on my side it feels as if my adams apple is being pushed down or like theres a pressure/tightness feeling there, usually when i sit up ill sort of still feel like that but it’ll come with a dry mouth where it feels like i have to forcefully swallow saliva but it comes and goes. I made an appointment with my doctor but what can i expect from my doctor or what tests should i get done? I feel scared atm since that throat tightness is there right now in the middle of the night. Main thing im just worried about is choking on my food or choking on my own esophagus or adams apple if thats even possible.

How can my heart be normal when it always feels off? Skipped beats, fast HR during standing, even when i stretch or even move around a bit it elevates for a bit, clusters, bit of an elevated HR after certain foods, i sometimes wake up with an HR of 80-90 yet my normal resting HR is usually 55-65 bpm, i even sometimes lightheadedness for a sec or feels like my breath gets caught after a skipped beat. The list goes on. I know some of my triggers such as late night eating, eating a really big meal, sleep deprived, etc. but even without those triggers i sometimes still have those weird heart sensations plus symptoms. Yes i have had 2 echos done before, multiple ekgs and bloodwork, chest xrays, holter monitor for a week, and everything was always normal but it still feels like why? Why is this happening to me yet i have 0 heart disease in the family, all tests are normal, im 21, supposed to be in the prime of my life yet it feels like im 60, i can handle excercise such as brisk walking, uphill walks, resistance training fairly well, so im like what can be so wrong with me to continue feeling these symptoms? Does anyone recommend a different specialist to speak to other than a cardiologist? Also i stopped taking magnesium don’t remember much if it helped so might get back on taurate aswell to see if it can improve some. I just want my old life back to where im not hyper aware of my heart 😒
