Concentrate when swallowing

This doesn’t happen all the time. But sometimes when I am eating and I go to swallow I can’t do it. I have to focus on swallowing. I’ll drink liquids just fine. Like I stated, this doesn’t happen often, it’s random.

Does anyone else have this issue with acid reflux? 

Dev,

I do too!! I always have the feeling that there is something in my throat! 2 ENTs told me they don’t see anything! My feeling is what I have is more than gerd! 

What you are talking about is exactly what my mother had happen to her.  It was Gerd and just had surgery done this past Friday.  I had Gerd as well and got it fix by having this Linx put in and haven't had an issue since Day 1 when they put it in.  Best decision I ever made.

Hi Diane, thank you for your reply.

Do you take an medications? My doctor prescribed me 20mg of omeprazole once a day. I’ve been on it for almost a month. For the most part it helps but I can definitely tell it wears off towards the end of the day. I’ll have to take a couple tums. 

Hi Jason thank you for your reply.

This is the first I’ve ever heard about this Linx. What is that?

To be GERD free sounds wonderful! 

Dev,

Yes I take the same thing as you! I feel it’s not helping a lot! One of my ENT put me on protonix, but I had some strange side effects! So had to go off of that! I took Prevacid years ago and that seemed to work for me! When they made it over the counter my ins. didn’t  cover it so I went the cheaper way with the omeprazole. I really don’t have the burning feeling! I believe they call it the silent acid reflex! Supposedly that’s why I have all the phlegm and the feeling that I have something in my throat!! You should maybe ask the dr if you can take more than one a day! I’m thinking about having an endoscopy to check out my esphougus to see if there’s any damage! Good Luck!!
