Sensation of Hair In Throat
Posted: 06-21-07 11:04am

For the past month, I feel as if I have hair in my throat and on the back of my tongue. I am constantly brushing my teeth, using mouthwash, and looking in a mirror trying to find the hair. But there is nothing there! I cough and gag all the time. I was recently diagnosed with a hiatal hernia through an upper endoscopy. Not sure if this is a symptom of that. I sure hope someone can share some insight on this.

Well, if you have a hiatal hernia you probably have acid reflux because of it. Acid reflux can cause wierd tastes in your mouth and just make you feel gross so that could be what it is. Always ask your doctor or nurse if you have any concerns.

I really don't have a problem with acid reflux, just that hair sensation and the feeling that there is something always in my throat. I went to my doctor and he said the same thing, that acid reflux could be the cause. I do not suffer from heartburn, and I can eat anything I want.

Don't forget about your epiglottis! This is the little flap in the back of your throat that prevents you from choking. (you cannot see it) This may be inflamed. Try gargling with warm salt water for a couple days and see if it goes away.
