Could be related to reflux. Try relaxing more when you eat. Take time to eat, at least a half an hour. Don't combine work and eating, they should be separate. If you are under a lot of stress try taking 2 vitamin b tablets each day. All of these things help me with the lump I had in my throat. Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I have not though of reflux.

I kow that I do not feel like I am under a lot of stress...But I may try the vitiam thing also.

I wonder if it could be what I have I have some on boths sides of my neck they hurt pretty bad I think that they are twisted up nerves do to stress I believe. I tried to dissolve them by massaging them it would be better if I had someone else to do it for me. They began on the 8-23-06 right after I started taking my ranitidine meds for my ulcer.

Well - in my experience it is not painful - just more annoying. I was just wondering if anyone had been to see a dr about something like I was complaining with...

Ranitidine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

headache

ranitidine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.

Hi jdhicks, if you put 'tight throat' in the search box you will find heaps of experiences there.

If you are under a lot of stress try taking 2 vitamin b tablets each day. All of these things help me with the lump I had in my throat.

Hi I saw your post and wanted to thank you bout the vitamin d. I currently went to doctors and found out I am vitamin d deficiency. I have the lump throat feeling also for so long. To no relief nothing worked. I have gone up on all vitamins and taking 1 more b did the trick. My throat issues are dissolving within 1 nite of taking the extra vitamin b. thank you much appreciated chrissy
