It Feels LIke As If There Was Something In My Throat

I had this problem, but it caused me to clear my throat incessantly to the point I felt I could not continue to live this way. Up all night. Others making comments. I was miserable. I couldn't feel anything, just felt like there was something there. Tried allergy testing and all sorts of medical procedures. Even had a Nissan (wrapping esophagus around stomach as a cure for GERD). Then I decided to lose some weight and ate a lot of fresh fruits, veggies, etc. and suddenly realized one day the problem was gone!!! Since then I have discovered that a number of things trigger it, nuts, cinnamon, certain candies, etc. The triggers are unusual at times, so I have just had to learn what bothers me and what doesn't. As long as I don't eat those things I feel great. If I eat one wrong thing I am miserable all day though, so if I eat something I know I shouldn't I definitely suffer the consequences. I hope someone finds this comment helpful, as when I was searching this was never brought up. You could have a physical lump, but the symptoms might also be related to the problem I was having. It is not an allergy...so does not show up in allergy testing. It is a food sensitivity. Good luck to anyone with the same problem.

Just the two of us

Tou don't have to be so ignorant! We aren't Drs., all we are doing is trying to help each other cope.

It might be tonsil stones. Sometimes they hide behind the skin just next to the tonsil, so you actually have to lift the skin up or sideways to see it. and the tonsils can get inflamed and it will feel like you have something at the back of your throat. after a saltwater gargle, try using a cotton swab to take them out. Good luck

Here we go,no answer but have the same problems and live where we have to heat the house for half of the year or more,that alone seems to trigger mine alittle more. What it is from is chronic smoking of marijuana and stress . I have not smoked anything in 4 months but i still cough up black chunks of sticky phlem , you could use this stuff for glue its so sticky . Poor diet (alot of donuts,lol) and lack of exercise is not helping either . It has gotton so bad lately being stuffed up inside of this house all winter with no fresh air running thru the house at all and electric and propane heat. the dust is aweful . there have been times i thought i would swell shut and trying to loosen them chunks almost made me crack a rib from coughing so hard. Ive had bloodwork done recently and im not sure if any abnormalities would show up if i have cancer, but i worry about that eveyday from the amount of crappy moldy mexican weed ive smoked

Hello, some of these posts are quite old but I am going to respond anyway.. I am 52 and just went through an EGD and had my Esophagus stretched. It does not correct this problem, (the feeling that you are strangling from the inside). My symptoms began almost a month ago and I went to the ER in a panic in the middle of the night, then went to see a Gastroenterologist, who sent me to have a Barium swallow, when nothing showed up he performed the EGD, and to my disappointment I am no better. I have been doing alot of research and I suggest anyone suffering from this problem should Google "digestacure." This addresses acid reflux and all digestive and autoimmune disorders. I have not tried it yet but I am going order some today. I donot believe the doctors have the answer, certainly acid reflux med.s are not the answer long term as they cause other problems. I want to get to the root of the problem not put a band-aid on it.

You might see my replies in the past. I went through this problem for quite a while until I went on a "diet." I had been through all kinds of tests as well as a Nissen surgery. Nothing helped. Very disappointing to end up with the same problem after surgery. I have since discovered it is what I eat. Everyone has their opinion and keeps trying different things, but as long as I don't eat certain things I am fine. There are some days I don't know why certain foods trigger it, but as long as I keep trying I am 98% better. This problem is miserable!

I have the same problem i took baby aspirin 81 mg and it got little better

Hello. I am having similar symptoms as well, and have been them around 8 years. I have a pressure in the top of my throat, and constant drainage, and if I snort enough, I have a lot of gas. When I lay down, I will have a weezing there, and when I breathe hard it feels like something it rattling around in there. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said, it was only a sinus infection; however, after weeks of taking antibiotics the symptoms did not relent in the least. This all began the day after I had given oral to a man, and taken him all the way back. I was fine most of the day, until I smoked some marijuana later in the evening, and it started, along with an intense need to swallow constantly. I swallow less often now, but it is still irritating. Around a year ago, sometimes when I snorted, these odd balls of almost like congealed mucus came out, about a dime in diameter; this happened on 3 occasions, within a month of each other, but not again.

i really have the same problem exact as u and i have been suffering from past 2 years, recently i went to a ent specialist and he said that it is caused by a streptococuss bacteria and gave some antibiotics, i asked him if it could be cancer but he ruled out any chances, though m not sure about his diagnosis i am going to see doctors in GMC and ask them for a cancer test as well as candida test. if anything fruitfull comes out i will post soon. till then pray fr me :)

Thank you so much. I didn't know how to explain my discomfort and this description is perfect.

hi im having diarrhea the past few days and have been reading about it ( im 15) i need help to make sure this is not Crhon's disease i dont have blood in my stool or any other symptoms but the diarrhea part i also want to make sure its not IBS!!! help please!!!!

I woke up this morning feeling as if there was a hair stuck in my throat. I've tried everything to get it out and it won't go away. I am one of those people who thinks its automatically something really bad, but I feel as if I am losing my taste buds.

Throat is not soar at all.

I sprayed my throat with this singing spray and i guess it must have hit the back of my throat the wrong way because for about 20 minutes i coughed and gagged over it then when the coughing finally stopped i was stuck with burning sensation in my throat whenever i breathe through my nose or mouth i tried honey and hot tea as well as cough drops with soothing throat medication inside of them nothing has worked its been three hours and it still burns i have asthma so when the burning causes me to cough i can't breathe someone please tell me the best way to stop this i can't stand it anymore

I went to my doctor about a similar situation and he told me it was related to Acid Reflux. The only thing I can take to get rid of the symptoms is Honey Lemon Halls and Alcohol also helps. I've been experiencing this problem for about 6 months now and can't seem to shake it for some reason any ideas?
