Burning sensation in throat constantly and feeling pain in breast bone while deep breathing....after taking acidity medicine the symptoms is still same

Professional Assessment: The presenting symptoms suggest several potential diagnoses including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), costochondritis, esophagitis, or less commonly, early manifestation of anxiety-induced esophageal hypersensitivity - all of which need to be carefully evaluated in a young female patient. The persistence of symptoms despite acid-suppressing medication could indicate either inadequate acid suppression, non-acid reflux, or an alternative underlying pathology such as esophageal motility disorders or thoracic musculoskeletal conditions. Given the patient's young age and female gender, additional considerations should include autoimmune conditions affecting the esophagus and stress-related somatic manifestations, which are more prevalent in young adult females. Further diagnostic workup is indicated, including upper endoscopy, 24-hour pH monitoring, and potentially chest imaging to rule out cardiopulmonary causes, along with a thorough evaluation of lifestyle factors and stress levels that could be contributing to the symptoms.

Take 1-2 tablets of Gaviscon Advance after meals and before bedtime to create a protective barrier in your throat and esophagus, reducing both acid reflux and throat burning. Additionally, elevate your head while sleeping using an extra pillow and avoid eating 3 hours before bedtime. Try taking Pantoprazole 40mg once daily on an empty stomach for 2 weeks, combined with breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing to help reduce chest discomfort.
