Hi everyone hope you can help me.
I have had for a few months the feeling that something is stuck in my throat and it won't go down . I have gone to the GP ( 2 of them), to be told it could be silent reflux/ post Nasal drip/ anxiety /sinisus and menopause.
I have had s endoscope 2 years ago and only reflux and a H / hernia.
I'm starting to stress out what can this be. I also experience at times heavy chest. Dry mouth also.
Has anyone had this please let me know and what you did for it.
I've had this problem and also had a endoscopy done and everything came back ok. I believe it's hormones from perimenopause or menopause. It was really bad at one time but it only happens once in a blue moon now. I hope it gets better for you.
Wow it is like you are describing me!! I get all this plus a neck pain, I just made an appountment with my PCP but have it mid october I will let you know...sorry but I feel relieved that I am not the only one with these symptoms
I've got that for 3 weeks now and one strange thing is about 19pm all symptoms become easier and then again afternoon is the worst. Back pain is better now at night. Today is not bad. My throat is ok but still something is in my chest but not so bad as yesterday. Cracking ears, floaters in my eyes.
I was informed it is stress and anxiety before we are protecting our stomaches for the flight or fight.I had it for about three to four weeks
rosedee me too always think either something stuck or something left in my throat I got diary mouth and dry tongue
sometimes don't know what to think but so far still breathing.
Hormones or anxiety... it feels awful 2 days ago I really thought I was having a heart attack or something, I have been trough a lot of stress lately and it seems that since peri I dont handle stress like before, I have good days and bad days like everybody here... hot flushes seem to be better since I am taking phytoestrogens and a multivitamin, also digestive issues are better, but all the symptoms that rosedee dedcribed are really bothering me...hughs to everyone!
I've got the same. Feeling better now. Good to know that you are not dying 😢
Hi all
Wow, that is what I have had for about 6 weeks. I was really stressed out and I have a health anxiety anyway. One morning I got up and it felt like I had a lump in my throat, it comes and goes during the day and when I eat it goes off. Some days it doesn't feel like a lump it feels like my neck muscles are tight. It's really weird. When I mentioned it my mum she said she had it about my age (40) and when for the camera and there was nothing. Apparently it's hormonal, stress and anxiety!!! It doesn't help my health anxiety at all. Just another symptom to add to the list .
rose, I've had this this week. Chest felt tight first and then severe dry mouth, even though I was well hydrated. I got some vitamin C high dose 1000mg chewable tablets and the relief was great. may work for you too.
Hi Rosedee
I have had this feeling for two years about ... it's hell. I'm 51 in November. I've also grown an adam's apple - like the front of my neck has got more cartilage there than it ever used to have - it crept up on me gradually over months. Still no nearer getting an answer. Seen three docs over this period. loads bloods done. upper gi done cos iron was low and also cause i had developed burping, but all fine. Camera into throat - normal ... getting another one done soon. CT scan of neck - normal. other symptoms - tinnitus, right rib pain and bulge. neck very grindy. Air hunger. Just want all this to end ... really at end of tether :-(
Thanks! My chest is really bad I still take antibiotics just in case. Happy to hear that someone else with me. Going for x-ray tomorrow. Today is not bad, just a bit chest but can breathe, a bit throat ant time to time some rining in my ears, very sweaty. My chest and throat driving me mad for the 3d week.
Hi Rosedee I have this now and again also it's a very uncomfortable feeling and used to cause my anxiety to go through the roof...now I am able to deal with it better I also had a scope done and nothing showed so it's got to be hormonal or anxiety with me
I been told that but I feel calm. It's stressing me out. Thank you for your reply it's been very helpful. 😊
Thank you everyone you advise and stories have helped. Hope you all get better soon. Xx
I thought i was calm as well my love stress brings on all sorts of things we cant even imagine I have now been tightning my jaw for weeks i thought i was over the majority of the stress but apparently not and its something i have never done in my life x
Was good 2 days ago and last night even? Do I need x ray done. this morning got up fine by 10 o'clock dry mouth and chest with not enough oxygen . All calmed now but feel my back - on the right. Thinking Im having heart attack or lung cancer. So stressed.
i've been through all this and still get it, like this week. I am sure you've been checked for heart and lungs already, so this is just these horrible symptoms. there is no easy way around it and I'm not sure if HRT solves everything. I havent taken it. I had a chest x-ray, so maybe get one done just to put your mind at ease. Then up your vitamins. I was given magnesium powder to take at night which really does calm down everything.
Hello LM
When you say 'neck pain' what is your pain like? It is at the front or rear of your neck. Do you get pains in your throat at all?
Thanks
Susan
Hi Susan, it's more like a strained ligament in the rear left side of my neck my throat doesn't hurt but I feel a lump in my throat I can't see it or touch it but I feel it most days, sometimes it goes away but everytime mu neck gets tight I feel ir again...
