Hi all
Just new here so bear with me.
I've had a lump in the throat sensation on and off for some 5 weeks now. That in itself doesn't bother me quite so much as the feeling I have of something being caught in there (also on and off). The feeling I have is that there is like a crumb, crisp, piece of pizza crust which presses up against the inside of my throat...it's like having a blister or ulcer in there I guess. I have been to the docs 4 times now and he doesn't seem that worried at all. He feels it is GERD/Oesophagitis and has prescribed Ramitidine for me (I can't do PPIs).
Other clues would be these. There is no lump visible from the outside (I've yet to go to ENT to check inside). The sensation happens about an hour after getting out of bed and drinking a cup of tea/talking. I do get referred twinges into my ear and neck sometimes (not often though). I have no pain/soreness in my throat and can eat fine. I do get indigestion.
My question is this. Has anyone had anything similar? What could the crisp/crumb be? A blister, ulcer, polyp or even a cut? It feels raised up rather than a cut but maybe a cut can give that feeling too?
Many thanks
Nick

Hi, yeah I have exactly the same sensation! Feels like a lump/ biscuit crumb is caught in my throat. Mine too sometimes feels Ok as soon as I get up, but the minute I eat/ have a brew it comes back. Did you find out what it was?
Thanks
