Well my probs been with me for a while when u burp does it for a few seconds make the lumpy feeling go away

Leahbeans,

know where you are coming from with this feeling of a lump in your throat and the panic associated with it.

Have been experiencing a rough time with this over the passed week.
Been to emergency a couple of times. Felt like I had food stuck in my throat.

Nasopharyngoscopy by an ent specialist revealed that there was no food stuck but there was a large build-up of heavy phlegm.

Have been on robitussin chest congestion cough syrup for a day now. (this is supposed to loosen mucus and phlegm.) this is the syrup that does not supress the cough but helps you to cough so that you can expel the mucus / phlegm.

Also called telehealth (canada only) and a registered nurse suggested that I drink lots of warm fluids, and to run a hot shower and breathe in the humid air to help loosen the phlegm and make it easier to expel.

Nothing beats going to the doctor though. Get yourself checked out.

Hope this helps some.

God I hope some one can help me...
I am 28 years old and I have no idea what is happening to me...
I have been sick for about 2 weeks, coughing and just feeling under the weather. A few days ago I woke up in the middle of the night trying to breath and I started weezing and unable well was very difficult to breath in trough my throat, but I could breath out, I has not able to talk either. My husband took me to our Emergency room...They took x-rays of my chest and neck, and said I was very swollen do to coughing, okay that made sense, they gave me a steroid shot and also breathing treatments, and told me a throat and nose doctor would be by to talk to me, okay.....When he came he told me he was going to do a test, by putting a tube down my nose...He did all that and told me to breath, sing and breath. I did, after that he said well you have nothing to worry about all looks well, BUT you have something called, Vocal Cord disfunction, okay what is that I said and what will have to be done, he told me to make an appointment with a Speech therapist, and a psychologist...What the hell????
So I go home, because right away I was released.I get home and I am okay because of the steroid shot, but still thinking well what about tomorrow?
Well here is tomorrow, and I do not fell better, I fell worse, I have a knot in my throat, a ball, a lump, I cough to try to breath. I am scared and I have read some of the forums on here, a stress, or a muscle can really do this to person?
I am not looking forward into months and months of trying to figure out what is wrong with me, I am so scared I have no idea where to go next...I do not have the insurance to go and see the Speech Therapist, and I definitely do not think I am crazy or have it all in my head to go see a psychiatrist..
But I am at a loss, and just want my life and my throat back to normal...
HELP PLEASE.

Take 2 advil for now. It seems to reduce the swelling sensation pretty quick. I am in the same boat. My doctor has me on kapidex for suspected acid reflux. So far that has not helped me after 15 days but the advil helps. It really is an aweful feeling however I have not stopped breathing yet. I would think if I was going to I would have by now. Good luck to you and if I come up with anything better on my journey I will let you know.

I feel so sorry foe everyone. I have had a cough for a month and now a feeling of mucus in my throat. It's very frightening. I could cry. I have seen a doctor and several Nurse Practitioners but have no relief. I have had acid reflux for 15 years and have been taking Losec. Now I've been told to take Losec twice a day. i am so fed up and miserable.Nothing helps.

I think we need to start a club for this condition....I too have had this feeling of something stuck in my throat & chest.I was told I have acid reflux, well took Prevacid to end up getting a rash and was feeling worse,went back on generic Priloc and genric Zantac.Before all of this crap happened,I got really sick with a sinus infection & sore throat,it went into my chest.Ever since then it now hurts like all the time on the R-side of my chest right in my breast bone.This is driving me crazy and my Dr thinks I'm nuts.Nice huh?
If I burp it helps a little but will still hurt.When I was so sick I did cough up mucus from the same area of my chest.....I wonder if all of this is related.Any one have any ideas?I too get panicky.
