Can someone please help me out here? A few days ago, I had a bout of supraventricular tachycardia just from bending over. It felt like my stomach thudded a couple of times, and then my heart went completely haywire. Before that, I dealt with some acute pharyngitis that left my throat feeling raw and stinging. Following that tachycardia episode, I started getting this tightness in my throat—it feels like I’m trying to swallow thick gum. Every time I swallow, there's this pulling sensation stretching all the way down my esophagus. Now, eating solid food is a struggle because I get this terrifying sensation that a bite is getting stuck in my chest, which is pretty painful. About six months ago, I had an EKG and an endoscopy covering my esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Everything came back fine, except for an elongated stomach. Honestly, I'm terrified to eat because of that sensation, and after reading too much online about esophageal cancer, I'm spiraling. Has anyone else dealt with these exact symptoms? Would doing another endoscopy actually be worth it at this point?
