throat sensation (stuck)

[Nene16 0]

Hi Everyone,

I am 13 days out. But, I am having a sesation in my throat that feels like something is stuck, basically I can't burp it out. I did see my doctor and he thought it would be heartburn. I'll get a new prescription if it doesn't go away in a few days. I am on liquids.

I was wondering if anyone has had this same sensation? Does it go away; anything you took?

Thanks. Irene.

Get the anti reflux meds. I had it too and the nexium fixed it.

Yes, the constant stuck feeling is likely a little swelling from acid reflux.

Make sure you're taking your acid blockers (I'm partial to omerprazole -- it's cheap and you can buy it bulk at costco, since you'll be taking it for a long time), and remember to eat and drink very, very slowly and in tiny portions. Also if the problem persists, it may be nighttime reflux -- try sleeping propped up on a pillow. I bought a wedge pillow from Amazon for around $20 that did more than anything else to cure my (thankfully occasional) nighttime reflux, and get rid of that permanent "stuck" feeling.

Thanks. since I can't take my normal acid reflux med yet, it has been a little miserable. I will add a pillow at night time as well. Hopefully, I can get some stronger med soon.
