I was diagnosed with GERD in feb 2001. I was having a sensation that there was something stuck in my throat to the point of gaging. I have tried Prilosec and Nexium and continue to have a problem. I just had a thyroid ultrasound and will have a scan this week. I have trouble swallowing and pain/swelling in that region. I feel like I am going insane. My doctor feels like GERD would not cause all of these problems.
If anyone has these problems and could share a diagnosis they received or advice I would appreciate it!
Hi, I have had throat problems for 5 months, my doc thought it was post nasal drip due to allergy. After trying allergy meds I started to think it was something else. I have a post nasal drip, lump in throat sensation and always trying to swallow. I have been trying Mylanta for 2 weeks which has helped a bit and as soon as I run out I can feel the tightness in my throat again. I am going to the ENT specialist tomorrow so shall report back.

Thank-you for your reply. I know how you feel, this is driving me crazy. I hope that the appt goes well for you and that you find an answer! My doctor now wants me to have a thyroid scan. Please keep me posted maybe we can help each other with any info we receive!
Specialist said reflux is going up to my throat and has put me on losec which is probably your prilosec. I have a 3 month prescription and he hopes by about a month I should feel better.
