What Causes A Feeling Of Obstruction In Throat With History Of Acid Reflux?

Question: I have always been a singer. Not any more. For about the last year or so there seems to be an obstruction in my throat. Almost like I need to clear my throat but never can. If I do sing or speak loudly, I become hoarse within a matter of minutes. The voice is thin where it use to be full. No soreness whatsoever. Have had pretty bad acid reflux over the years.
Brief Answer:
Stroboscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Get a Videolaryngoscopy done. A Stroboscopy or a High Speed Camera study of the larynx would be ideal.
2. Your symptoms suggest a chronic laryngitis due to acid reflux.
3. If you can upload the images or the video of the larynx, I will be able to suggest treatment.
4. In the mean while anti reflux treatment and Mucaine Gel will help.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
