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.
