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.

to dawnie417 - I have the exact same problem -I do not have heartburn or acid reflux either. It is driving me crazy and I wish it would just simply go away. I am going to make an appointment with my doctor/dentist to see if someone can help me.

I've had this sensation for a week now! It's driving me nuts! I keep trying to grab hairs that aren't there. Sometimes the feeling gags me. It mostly feels like it's on the tip of my tongue or on my soft palate. Sometimes it feels as if fine hairs are wrapped around my teeth at the gum line! I've heard it could be allergies to dogs, but I've had dogs (the same breed) for years and I've only had this feeling once before. It just went away one day and I didn't give it another thought until it came back! Gargling, brushing, mouthwashing, eating, drinking, NOTHING seems to make it go away!!! If anybody figures out what causes this, please let me know!

I am so glad to find out that others have this problem. I have had this for over a month now, can eat anything, no heartburn no acid reflux, just feels like hair in my throat, and sometimes in my nose. Did anyone go to the Dr.

I have the same feeling. I constantly scrape my teeth across my tongue trying to get the "hair" off. I feel like there is hair on the back of my tongue or in the tonsil area. I went to my doctor and got the same thing about the acid reflux but I also don't have problems with that. Have taken antacids just in case with NO change. VERY frustrating..but we aren't alone!
