Throat Problem

Has anyone had discomfort in the throat or mouth. I feel like there is a lump in the back of my mouth. I went to the ENT dr. and he said it was build up mucus. I have had this feeling for about 2 months. It does not hurt and I am using a saline to clear my post nasal drip. My primary care dr. checked my thyroid, it is fine. It feels like the back upper part of my mouth behind the nose going part down the throat. Please help.

Re: Throat Problem

hi denise,
im having the same problem..but I think mine may be related to acid reflux..are you experiencing any heartburn? It may not seem like regular heart "burn"..with mine its just this pressure in throat...no problems swallowing, with occasional liquid appearing when i belch. NO pain but just this annoying pressure in back of throat. I wish I could help more, but Im still in the question area myself. Good luck

Re: Throat Problem

I have it on and off. Feels like phlem almost but I have acid reflux and I know that is a part of the problem. It happens real bad at night when I lie down. I also have developed a "daily cough" and I have to clear my throat alot. I have an endo scheduled for Wednesday. I take aciphex and it helps with the heartburn and regurgitation but not with the throat thing. My mom thinks I have a hiatal hernia.

Re: Throat Problem

I have this going on. I take Nexium so I don't have the heartburn, just the feeling of tightness or a lump and lots of burping. It could be a hiatal hernia but the current thinking is to control the acid and not do surgery. Anyway, I have decided that this is a symptom of anxiety or GERD. However, it is making me anxious thinking that it is something serious and that does not help to settle the anxiety. Seems like a vicious circle.
