What Causes Feeling Of Something Stuck Inside Throat?

You are having GERD and globus pharyngeus
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
I went through your post and analysed your symptoms.
You are having symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The feeling of lump in the throat is called globus pharyngeus and GERD is one of the causes.
Your doctor has rightly prescribed lansoprazole. Continue taking lansoprazole for 4-8 weeks.
In addition to this certain lifestyle/dietary changes are to be done.
1. Avoid alcohol and smoking ( if you have these habits)
2. Weight reduction if obese
3. Avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, carbonated beverages, fatty food and spicy food
4. Avoid eating full stomach and eat multiple smaller meals
5. Go to bed at least 2-3 hours after food.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.


Mostly due to GERD and anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The tightness is mostly due to GERD.
The other symptoms are due to anxiety.
If you are very apprehensive, you can get an upper GI endoscopy done to look inside the food pipe.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.


Thanks again.
