feeling of something in throat--reflux? - Digestive Disorders Message Board

DebraL · 04-23-2004, 10:22 PM

I have been trying to diagnose a feeling of something in my throat. The ENT did the nasal/throat scope and diagnosed acid reflux. He said there was some swelling. This feeling is high in my throat and I have considered tmj, seasonal allergies, etc. Any input appreciated. If this diagosis is correct, how long does it take to feel some relief from Nexium. I much prefer natural remedies, but will try this to get rid of that horrible feeling.
I have read much here about that being a common feeling, but this is in the upper throat, not like food stuck 'halfway'.

DebraL ...I also suffered the same thing you have since last September...I saw 3 ENT doctor already, all of them scope down my throat and told me that I have acid reflux, my voicebox is red and swolen , the last doctor I saw last thursday put me on Prevacid 30mg twice a day, I still feel like something stuck in my throat, I don't know if the Prevacid work for me...

I still feel terrible and very confuse because I don't have any symtom of reflux ..I though I have IBS because of my abdominal pain.....so confuse

Can You Describe What It Is You Are Feeling? I Too Am Going To An Ent Dr This Wednesday Because I Have A Strange Sensation In The Back Of My Throat And Into My Sinuses..

Whenever I Inhale In I Feel A Strange Sensation Or Irritation In The Back Of My Throat And Into My Sinuses..

I Have Have Gastritis And Reflux For Months Now. I Don't Get The Burning Or Anything. I Only Feel The Stomach Pain.. This Is Aweful Because I Am On Carafate And Pepcid Right Now And Nothing Seems To Help The Acid Reflux If Thats What This Is..

Any Suggestions? I Have Already Been On Prevacid, Nexium, And I Do Take Tums Now And Then With The Carafate..

I Pray That You All Find Relief Soon. I Know What You Are Going Through..
