JOG1151 10-12-2006, 09:41 PM I found this on the net...I also have jaw pain...hope this helps you Dr. Eisner: The pain under your jaw on your neck can be a result of GERD. Frequently patients with GERD will not have heartburn, but what is called the atypical (extra-esophageal or outside of the esophagus) manifestations of GERD. Globus hystericus is the sensation of having a lump in the throat when there is nothing there. It is usually a result of reflux of acid into the larynx, or voice-box. It can be the cause of a strange feeling under the jaw on the neck. By treating for acid refux with acid-reducing agents, symptoms resolve. As with all of the extra-intestinal manifestions of GERD, treatment usually requires higher doses of medication for longer periods of time. |
