I have this lump sort of thing going on in my throat, i wasn't having any trouble until my doctor switched the medicine I was on from Protonix to Prevacid for acid reflux, as soon as I switched that is when the "hard to swallow" thing occured. She said it has nothing to do w/the switch and suspects something called Globus, which I doubt, does anyone know anything about Globus ??? I have thyroid issues that run in the family, I been been tested for thyroid recently and the tests are normal, but 2 years ago I was borderline. I am going to an ENT on friday and I suspect he will say he cannot find anything, does anyonr have any ideas ??? Like I said i was fine until I switched meds.......

You need checked for hiatal hernia. That's what I felt like when I had one. By the way, you can fix it yourself without surgery. My doctor had me on Protonix and the stuff darn near killed me. Stop and think about it......prohibits you from making stomach acid. Well, what is going to digest your food? Has this country lost its senses. Half the country is on that @#$%. Try to get ahold of a book called "Hiatal Hernia Syndrome" by a Dr. Theodore Baroody. I got it at a reflexologists place (and herb place and it was the best money that I ever spent. I was scheduled for surgery for ther hernia when I happened on this book.
Hope this helps. Donna and my little pug Sadie
My Little Pug,
You actually FIXED your hiatel hernia so that it doesn't bother you at all, or you fixed it to where it doesn't show its ugly face as often. If you say you fixed it for good, I am not doubting you. I will just be forced to go buy the book myself .LOL. I am at the point of requesting surgery myelf at times. I would love to be able to manage it better on my own.
God bless you!
