hii...before some time i also experienced same feelings. this feeling make me irritated..i feel something like mucus is stuck in my throat.. for last 2 month. I saw ENT and he said it is some acidity problem. how long it will take to cure? Please help me I lost my energy and sleep .
Yours sounds like possible Thrush. Oral thrush is a condition of fungus Candida and accumulates on the lining of your mouth. It is usually like a creamy white mucus that is on the tongue or inner cheeks. Sometimes it can spread to the roof of your mouth, gums, and tonsils or the back of your throat. Some of the symptoms are also cottony feeling in your mouth, dryness, feeling (sensation) of something in the throat, or even sometimes pain or bleeding. Sometimes its obvious to a doctor and sometimes a throat culture is needed. It is a very common problem and if left untreated can lead to a more difficult infection.
This has been happening to me for the last 5 weeks. Have been to the doctors twice now, the first doctor gave me indigestion tablets, the second steroids for sinuses both have done absoutely nothing to get rid of this incredibly annoying condition.
I have now given up coffee, which is disastrous as I love coffee. Drink herbal teas all day long as they are the only thing that relieves the sensation, if only for a small amount of time.
I do think I am now becoming so paranoid about it that it is making me think i'm going a little mad. The doctors don't think it is anything like Cancer as I have no pain, and I have not lost alot of weight. I have smoked in the past but my doctor said it is usually people who smoke alot and drink spirits that would give them cause for concern. This however does not stop me worrying about what it is.
I would just like to hear from anyone who has found something that might ease it, I have tried, ginger, salt gargelling, peppermint tea.
Hello,
Now I feel better in my condition. It take almost 3 months to cure the problem for me. My doctor told me that it is inflammation and told me to quit smoking and 99% nothing to worry :) now I quit smoking and it is working well for me. Don't worry about problems. if you became worry the disease never left you!!!
Thanks for your response, it is good to hear from someone who is feeling better from this strange ailment. It would be so good if some of the people from the older posts could let us know how they are doing now?
I have had this twice now! The first time I had it was 7 years ago when my grandma passed and it lasted 3 months and just wasn't there when I woke up one day the sensation like something was stuck was just gone. I am stressing out really bad because my mom has stage 4 lung cancer and I have been having this feeling again since right before Thanksgiving but it is easing up finally! I think it is a stress thing. Good luck to everyone on here and try to relax.
you could be right cos mine started when dad died in 2010, but i still have it..some days i can cope then the other days, i wanna rip my throat out...
Ok all just wanted to let you know what a new doctor has said to me today. I have now been three times, the first suggested reflux, the 2nd suggested sinus problems, and now today the third has been quite straight talking which has totally put my mind at rest.
She said that I am experiencing anxiety apparently the body when it becomes anxious has funny ways of reacting, firstly the throat dries and then the throat muscles work hard to re hydrate the area, hence the feeling getting worse throughout the day. The body also can make the chest tighten and finally this effects the stomach which all contributes to the variety of feelings that I have been suffering from.
She has said that if I want an ENT to look into my throat she is happy to organise this and has suggested I do it but only for peace of mind as she and I quote 'is willing to bet her house on the fact that there will be nothing there! I will go just to make sure but the most interesting part of this is, it is now a couple of hours since I saw her and my symptons have nearly dissapeared... the power of reassurance is incredible. So if you are suffering, go to the doctors, listen to them and try to calm down!
hI eVERYONE
i MAY HAVE WRITTEN A FEW OST BUT AS YOU KNOW i WENT TO 2 ent, gastroacopy, 3 doctors, i know the first one only wanted to operate ent due to deviated nose p ost nasal drip, second ENT did more test like allergy and my allergy reading were very high normal O to 2OO, mine was 1665, SO HE DID MORE TO SEE WHERE THE ALLERGIES LAY AND i WAS EXTREMELY HIGH ON DUST , AND NEED TO GO FOR DESENSITISATION, i AM SCARED THAT THIS MIGHT TRIGGER SOMETHING ELSE, HE SAID EVEN IF HE DID THE OpERATION IT WONT REALLY ASSIST ME DUE TO THE ALLERIES,
BY THIS TIME i WAS FED Up OF REALLY HAVING THIS FEELING AND IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AS i STRATED HAVING TIGTNESS FROM MIDDLE OF THE THROAT TO U ppER CHEST AREA THIS STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO BACK TO THE DOCTORSSHE ASKED ME TO TRY NEXIUM, AS IT WAS REFLUX, iT IS IN MY FAMILY BUT THE SYMpTOMS THEHAVE ARE BURNING SENSATIONSCOMING FROM STOMACH TO THROAT AND MIE NO BURNING OR INDEGESTIONS SO i STARTED TAKING IT IT TOOK A FEW DAYS BEFORE i FELT ANY DIFFERENCE, THE TIGHTNESS VANISHED AND WHEN THIS STARTES i START GETTING THIS WEIRED SOMETIMES DRY SOMETIMES MUCAS COUGH, AS SOON AS i TAKE THE NEXIUM 4O MG,aFTER A FEW MINUTES i FEEL IT GET A BIT WORSE AND THEN IT SLOWLY GOES AWAY, BUT I STILL HAVE THIS LUMp, NEAR MY TONSILS IT IS BIG BUT NOTHING CAN BE NOTED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE IT LOOKS SMALL UNTIL YOU TOUCH IT AND YOU NOTE THE DIFFERNCE IT IS ,HARD AND NOT AINFUL JUST THAT i KNOW IT IS THERE, ENT DID NOT FEEL IT BUT LOOKED IN THROAT AND SAID NOT TO WORRY, THIS HAS BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST AN YEAR., SO IF YOUR SYMTOMS GO AHEAD EVEN AFTER SEEN AND ENT, TRY SOME NEXIUM IT MIGHT BE THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME HAVE.
SIDE EFFECTS SO BECAREFUL, I STILL FEEL IT ON AND OFF BUT NOT AS BAD AS HOW IT HAS BEEN AND WHEN I AM STRESSED MY THROAT CONSTRICTS SO IT MAKES IT WORSE.
GOOD LUCK KEE US INFORMED IF YOU HAVE FUND ANSWERS OR IF ANYTHING HAS HELED, I HAVE TAKEN GINGER BREWED IT HELED WITH THE HLEGM, ASIFITIDA SMELLS BAD, DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT WHICH ASSIST WITH INDEGESTION, A LITTLE BIT IN WARM WATER IF OU HAVE ULCERS AVOID IT
GOOD LUCKD GOD BLESS

did she tell you what is the best way to RE HYDRATE the throat? warm water? cold water? lozenges??
She didn't but I can tell you what works for me. Have a glass of water constantly by your side. Don't gulp just sip rough out the day I also have given up coffee as I felt it flagged my throat up, I drink her ball tea finding that varieties with honey, ginger etc to be the best. But I can't drink them Lin succession as I find they too start to stick around the throat. If you feel cold water is too harsh try boiled water that has been allowed to cool slightly. remember to keep calm, it works!
Thanks sweety for replying...i will keep all the above written down...fingers crossed...ps..gee coffee is hard to give up!! :)
Yes I agree coffee is a really hard one to give up! I was drinking 3 cups a day if not more! However on the plus side, my skin is loving all this water!!!!!
Did any of you feel that the Back of the neck aches too when you have the feeling in the throat AND WHEN YOU BEND DOWN THERE IS SOME RESSURE EFFERCT IN THE THROAT NON OF THE DOCTORS CHECKED MY THROAT AREA FROM OUTSIDE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING AS i FEEL LIKE ONE SIDE IS SLIGHTLY SWOLLEN BUT NOTHING SHOWED IN THE CANS AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO SUCH SWELLING
ask for an MRI scan as a CT scan doesnt pick up everything. They found a lymph node thru and MRI...i think thats why one side swells up on me also.
