Pressure/pain usually brought on by bending forward, climbing stairs or straining or laying in the wrong direction.  there is some inflammation between thyroid and collar bone with some visible swelling.  What kinds of thing can create those symptoms.  Years ago a dr wanted me taking medication for acid reflux after he did a scope down my throat.  I opted for things like raising the head of my bed and diet issues because I wasn’t experiencing any regular symptoms for that.  Could any related issue cause pain or pressure in that area?  I might have an acid reflux episode once in a year.  Are there herbs that could heal any damage that may have happened years ago?
