Does anyone feel their throat is tightening?

When my acid reflux is acting up my throat really tightens up and it feels so difficult to swallow anything, even water.
I can't stand anything touching my neck, even my shirt collar drives me insane and makes the tightening feeling worse.
My stomach always feels like its on fire inside. I don't have the liquid feeling coming up into my throat or I even know a few people who have the reflux or GERD so bad that acid comes up their throat and out of their nose sometimes.
I don't have it that bad.
But my stomach is always so raw, bloated feeling and it burns constantly.
My doctor prescribed me Prevacid.
I have been dealing with theses symptoms for about 2 years now and I'm scared that I have done irreversible damage to my esophagus that now Prevacid won't help.
Is anyone else on Prevacid? I have 30 mg capsules. I have trouble swallowing anything so am I allowed to break apart the capsules and just take the tiny beads inside or can I mix it with something light like pudding or something and take it that way?
Has anyone ever had a bad allergic reaction to Prevacid or did it make your symptoms worse?
Please post someone! Let me know!
Thanks.

Re: Does anyone feel their throat is tightening?

Well I know with any kind of medicine such as prevacid. You are suppose to swallow whole. If you break it up and swallow it like that then it won't work. I know you are having trouble swallowing but at least try to take it whole and see if it makes you feel better.

Prevacid comes in a tablet that dissolves in your mouth and it even comes in liquid form. Ask your doc to see if he/she can prescribe one of the alternate forms

Hamilton92

I am going through the exact same thing as you with swallowing. I had scope done and they could not find anything wrong. I feel the food slide down my throat and its all very frustrating that they say there is nothing there.

What else could cause these symptoms....I am really frustrated
