What causes persistent pressure near the end of the esophagus?
Hello doctor,
I am a 31-year-old female who has been dealing with GERD for the past three years. Currently, I am taking Famotidine and Gaviscon on a daily basis. However, for the last four days, I have been experiencing a constant pressure feeling near the end of my esophagus. This is causing significant concern and fear. I underwent an endoscopy two years ago, and the results were normal. Despite this, the persistent pressure sensation has me worried. What might be causing this discomfort? Please clarify.
Thank you.

What are the symptoms associated with mesenteric node involvement?
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing mild yet persistent pain on the right side of my middle abdomen. Upon undergoing a CT scan, the report revealed the presence of a fatty liver, along with the observation of a few mesenteric nodes. Given that my sister received a cancer diagnosis when her lymph node was found to be enlarged, my primary concern now centers around the mesenteric nodes. Kindly help.
Thank you.
