The dreaded lump in throat feeling

Any way to get rid of this? It is driving me nuts. Some days my throat feels fine and other days it feels like a baseball is lodged in it! I can't figure out what is triggering this. My chest seems to feel better now but I cannot get rid of the lump. Please any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: The dreaded lump in throat feeling

Nobody with any advice? I'm just tired of it coming back! It'll feel like a baseball is lodged in it for 3 or 4 days and then it goes away for about 2 or 3 and then violla it's right back

Sorry Pillbox you are feeling so bad

I unfortunately can't help you with the lump throat feeling. I don't get that symptom just trouble swallowing is my issue.

Are you on PPI's

Re: The dreaded lump in throat feeling

I also have that throat feeling and it never goes away completely. It gets worse during stressful times but each day or every few days I have it. The feeling is worse when I cough up mucous and sometimes upon coughing it out that sensation gets better. After my appointment today, my doctor has decided to send me for the PH test. I'm on 30mg Prevacid now but before doing anything else like upping the medicaiton he is sending me for the test. I'm scared to get it done but think it is necessary. You are not alone. The feelings can drive me crazy sometimes but if I don't fixate on it I'm okay. Good luck.

Re: The dreaded lump in throat feeling

I just had an upper endoscopy for the same feeling. Doctor says I have too much bile in my stomach because I had my gall bladder removed years ago.

He put me on 40 mg Nexium twice a day for several weeks and then down to one a day. I feel a little better but it is not yet completely gone.

It helps to watch what you eat. I have tried to completely eliminate coffee, soda pop, chocolate and tomatoes from my diet. I feel much better when I do this. When I have at least a little of these items, such as a half glass of coke or a half cup of coffee, I can tell the difference. The lump feels much bigger.

So the solution seems to be to restrict your diet.

Hopes this helps.
