PLEASE READ IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR BURPS ARE GETTING STUCK IN YOUR THROAT

Hello my name is Anthony/ Im 19. Recently i have had trouble burping. It feels as if when i burp it travels half way up my esophagus then make a growling sound and suddenlly disappears in my chest. I am so worried it could be esophagus cancer. I Have been smoking about a pack every 2 days since i turned 17. I Rarely have acid reflux and when i do it's not bad. I Have been up all night trying to figure what's going on with me. I know it could be GERD But what i read on GERD is it usually caused by acid reflux witch i rarely have. This not being able to burp sensation just came out of no were. Anybody on that can help me. I Will be scedueling a doctors app sometime soon.



Thanks to anybody that replies to this post.

Sounds like a great sign you should quit! You are young for that kind of cancer, but you may be having other issues like irritation of the esophagus because of smoking. Smoking massively increases your chance of getting cancer and of dying from cancer. Also, it's been proven that anyone who can smell the smoke around you gets exposed and has a higher risk of cancer too. It also makes your face age a lot faster. As long as you can swallow ok there probably isn't a mass (meaning cancer) blocking your throat. Sometimes esophageal irritation can make the muscles that help you swallow not work properly. Stop smoking for a few days and see if it goes away and also see your doc.
