Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 ok, so i went to the doctor and she gave me some lozenge i suck on 4 times a day that apparently will clear the white tongue thing.. though i am worried i'm just clearing the symptom, and theres actually a problem underneath.. pain in esophagus and difficulty swallowing? ok.. but can anyone explain the blocked feeling in my chest, as if food is stuck there.. started out as the aching burning pain associated with reflux, then it became a ragged kind of pain, now its like.. something is stuck, and i feel like i have to cough but nothing comes up, and i'm half on the edge of gagging/ choking, but its not going away.. the exact location of this werid choky feeling is roughly around the middle of my neck/ the little soft circle just at the bottom of my neck... i'm terrified all along i had cancer or some weird disease is destroying the valves that close the stomach and that divide the esophagus and the breathing thing.. trachea? yeah so.. argh! *i will not get frustrated, will not get frustrated, will not....* , Angls4Hope wrote: > > > In a message dated 12/3/2006 9:42:21 A.M.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Lemon Grass Oil is a good remedy for a number of stomach problems. In a tourist resort I met a vendor selling tea flavoured with Lemon Grass Oil. One drop of Lemon Grass Oil is more than enough to flavour five cups of tea.
