Hi I don’t know if this is the right place to post this. I have GERD, asthma, and allergies. Lately I’ve had pain when swallowing, not terrible pain but it’s achy and heavy when swallowing. I’ve also noticed I get a squeezing feeling in my upper abdomen randomly throughout the day, maybe a few times during the day. I also can trigger this, very weirdly, by taking my right arm and behind it behind my back, almost if you were to scratch the middle of ur back. I’m on Omeprazole and take tums when needed. I haven’t had an endoscopy in 3 years.

Where in your upper abdomen is it uncomfortable and squeezing?
