For about the past two weeks I have
experienced discomfort in my throat. You
might describe it as an air bubble, or
pill in the throat...But sometimes it
feels as though a belt is tightend around
my neck. This comes and goes, but never
really totally goes away. Does anybody
have any ideas as to what this could be?

I had something like that happen to me a
while back. It happened after I had taken
a pill. I thought I was having an
allergic reaction when it didn't go away
so I went to the e.R. They treated as
acid reflux and gave me some sort of
concotion to drink it didn't help but they
sent me along my way with pepcid. I
didn't take the medicene that I felt
caused the problem and I also never took
the pepcid. The symptoms went away
totally about a month later. I still to
this day feel that a had a mild allergic
reaction to the med.
Have you taken any medicaton lately?

I think I sorta know what you are talking
about?! About a year or so ago, I
experienced this weird feeling in my
throat. It felt like I had food or a lump
of skin in it. I went to urgent care and
they did x-rays and looked down my throat
and found nothing. It was really strange.
It came and went about 3 or 4 times but
it felt so gross and I was a nervous
wreck. I tried to swallow a million times
to get rid of it and nothing. I ate bread
and drank so much but nothing. It just
went away on its own eventually.
I know exactly
what you are feeling...I have been
experiencing this for about 8 months now
and have been to the doctor they have put
me on so many allergy meds and nasal
sprays and asthma medicens but they dont
work still experiencing like some one has
there hands around my neck, like I have a
big ball of phlem in my throat...Have you
been to the doc..If so what did they say?

Oh my... I have this exact feeling.
I can't believe I found something on this
with google.
Started a few days ago, and it's supremely
freaky feeling.
Got an appt for the doc but I haven't gone

To the other guy.. I have been on
quite a few meds lately.
Have any of you guys noticed any of these
at all?

I've got the same feeling in my throat as
well. It's happened in the past but gone
away shortly afterwards. Its come back
to raise hell about a week ago and it's
really bugging the crap out of me. I
don't feel it though if my mind is
occupied with something. I think/hope
its psychological

I Just Left the Doctors Office Crying!! Posted: 01-10-07 18:33pm
Yes I did just leave the doctors office in
tears because she told me my symptoms were
all in my head. I have developed hard
bumps on my wrists and chest and ankle,
crazy crazy anxiety, I thought I was
loosing my mind because I heard people
whispering, lump in throat that feels like
something is stuck...
I was put on acid reflux as well, for the
past 2 months and it helps somewhat but I
have to take like 2 every 6 hours and the
normal dosage is one per 24 hours.
Will some one pleeeeaseeee tell me what is
going on and what condition or disease
those symptoms listed are for??
I could not believe how right on the money
they were!!!
Pleeeeaseeeeeeee..Because I feel like im
going crazy

Do any of you folks remember the exact
moment that you began to feel the
so-called lump? I think I know what you
guys are talking about, I may have had
this same thing a couple years ago. I felt
it right after I had smoked outside one
night, it hit me immediately, it felt like
a big bug had flown in my throat but
wouldn't let me swallow it OR spit it out.

Also on another note, and this is gonna
sound really bizarre, but had any of you
been attempting to achieve lucid dream
states around the time that you were
inflicted? Or even anything
mental/spiritual that would be similar to
lucid dreaming?

Same With Me :( Posted: 01-07-08 15:14pm
I'm in 6th grade
and in the beginning of winter break I
started getting it.
Today I just went back to school and I
came home sick because of it. My dad said
it's probobaly a gas bubble in the back of
my throat. This is what it fells like-
Like I'm going to throw up, but it won't
happen. IT'S REALLY STARTING TO ANNOY ME
NOW!!!! Does anyone know how to get rid of
it, other than burp, or ginger ale, or
etc.?

Sore Throat! Posted: 02-20-08 05:39am
Today is Wednesday, February 20, 2008, and
I have had a sore throat now since last
Friday (February 15, 2008). It doesn't
feel like a sore throat due to a cold. Not
the itchy/scratchiness that is often
associated with colds. It feels worse.
Different... weird. As if something is
lodged in the top of my throat. It
sometimes stings as well, and it seems to
be constricting, not allowing me to really
swallow.
I do believe my right lymph node is
swollen.
I have sucked on what feels like thousands
of throat lozenges. I have gargled with a
saline mouthwash (salt and warm water). I
have gargled with another mixture of salt,
apple cider vinegar, water and a crushed
Aspirin. I have tried massaging my neck,
but that doesn't seem to work.
The pain lessens from time to time, but it
seems to get worse at night and during the
early evening hours. I haven't the
slightest idea what this is, but it is
really scaring me. I have searched Google
for what seems like eons, and still, I
have found nothing. Just pages upon pages
of homeopathic treatments of things I've
never heard of and wouldn't know where to
look even if I had. I don't have medical
insurance, so I'm trying to wait this
thing out so that I won't have to shell
out a lot of money for what may be a minor
problem.
Did anyone here ever go to the doctor and
find out what this thing is? As to the
person who asked what we were doing when
this happened, I was eating a cheeseburger
from Waffle House when I noticed it. I
tried to ignore it, hoping that maybe it
was just a piece of burger that had gotten
caught in my windpipe and would work
itself out later. But no... It's been 5
days, and the sensation is still there. I
can easily drink liquids with little to no
problem (except for orange juice... that
makes my throat feel as if it's burning),
but it is with solid foods that I have a
problem. I tried to eat pizza earlier
tonight, and I could've sworn I was
dead... that is, until I ran upstairs to
bother my mother with my problem. It
honestly felt like someone was jabbing
food into the back of my throat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

WEIRD FEELING IN THROAT Posted: 03-17-08 21:25pm
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE ALLERGIC
TO, BUT OVER A YEAR AGO MY LYMPHNODES
KEPT ON SWELLING AND WOULD NOT GO DOWN, I
WENT TO THE DR GOT ANTIBIOTICS AND THEY
WENT DOWN ONLY TO COME BACK UP ABOUT TWO
WEEKS LATER, I REALIZED I HAD STARTED
DRINKING SOY MILK A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE
FIRST TIME THEY GOT SWOLLEN, THEN I HAD
LAID OFF UNTIL I WAS OFF THE MED'S AND
ONCE I STARTED DRINKING IT AGAIN THEY GOT
BIG AGAIN, SO I STARTED WATCHING WHAT I
WAS EATING TO MAKE SURE IT CONTAINED NO
SOY. I HADN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. LAST
WEEK MY THROAT GOT THIS MASS FEELING ON
THE LEFT SIDE THAT FELT LIKE A HUNK OF
PHLEM, AND IT HASN'T GONE AWAY, IT DAWNED
ON ME TONIGHT TO CHECK OUT THE INGREDIENTS
IN THE NEW BRAND OF BREAD I HAVE BEEN
BUYING FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS, GUESS WHAT
IT HAS SOY OIL AND SOY PROTEIN IN THE
INGREDIENTS, SO I AM GOING TO LAYOFF FOR A
FEW WEEKS AND SEE IF IT GOES AWAY, I'M NOT
SAYING IT IS SOY, BUT FOR ME I BELIEVE
THAT IS MY PROBLEM.

sleep sitting up Posted: 03-24-08 22:55pm
i have had this same thing happening to me
on & off for the last year. i was
diagnosed with ulcers in my throat &
acid reflux. the weird thing is my 10 year
old daughter just recently started having
the same symptoms . she kept saying
something wont let me swallow like
something is stuck in my throat . she was
diagnosed with reflux as a baby. The only
thing we have found that helps with these
is not to lay down. stay sitting up even
at night . so we will sleep in a recliner.
i guess it makes sense when u lay down the
acid rises making it worse. just wish how
we could make them stop all together

Viral Infection Posted: 04-10-08 16:29pm
Blessings.
I eventually went to the emergency room
shortly after posting my last response
only to find out that I did have a swollen
right lymph node and that it was a viral
infection. I'm still not sure how or where
I picked it up (perhaps Waffle House?),
but it took 10-14 days for it to go away.
As we all know, there's nothing we can do
about viruses (no antibiotics to take, no
medicines, etc.) other than allow them to
run their courses. So, that's basically
what I had to do. Knock on wood, I haven't
had that problem since. I hope I don't
have it anymore.
Peace within and God bless you, loves.

I had the same thing (like a pill was
stuck in my throat or never quite
digested). I also was feeling like I
couldn't swallow and like there was
somehing in my throat. After going to many
doctors and being on many different
prescriptions, I was told it is acif
reflux. I was put on Protonix (which
caused weight gain- I'm off it and the
extra weight is gone). I limit my caffine
intake and no longer eat tomatoes, salsa
or spag. sauce. I know have been getting
chest pains (again, from acid reflux- I
have been drinking bubbly soda- without
caffine) so I always carry Rolaids. Also,
be sure to sleep on your left side if
possible (it helps food digest properly)
and wait at least 3 hours before laying
down after you eat ANYTHING!!!
Hope this helps!

I think it's allergies Posted: 04-13-08 07:58am
I had this feeling all last summer and
fall like there was a big ball of pflegm
in the back of my nose immediately above
my throat. My husband thought it had
something to do with the fact that I was
gradually tapering off an anxiety medicine
and that my gaba receptors were messed up.
It did go away over the winter, but now I
am starting to get it again. I think that
it definitely is an allergy symptom, but
it could be a different allergy for
everyone who has it. I have had allergy
testing and the only seasonal allergy I
have is to mold. However, pollen and
other things in the air can still cause a
lot of problems even if you are not
allergic to them. My ENT is out of advice
to give me, as I have tried all allergy
medicines. I did take a natural allergy
supplement yesterday which helped a
little. However, I caution all of you
with those natural supplements. The
bottle told me to take 3 of these big
green pills at a time, but I think that
was too much for me because I felt a
little nauseous. I did feel some draining
and thinning of that pflegm though and it
was gone within an hour.
