I do not have any burning in the chest or pain but just something in my throat that I can't get up or swallow. Also the shortness of breath has me puzzed. I thought it might be sinus drainage at one time but don't seem to have any other sinus problems. Can you have reflux without the burning and pain? I have been told in the past that I had a small hiatal hernia but it never has given me any problem and I don't hurt now just "gook" in the back of my throat and can't get a deep breath. What do you think might be my problem and should I be taking anteacid,etc. Thanks
