Suggest Treatment For Heartburn And Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat

I continuously feel like something is stuck in my throat, like throw up sometimes. I have threw up at least 5 times in the last two days and feel like all my food just keeps creeping up my throat. I do have heartburn alot as well. Can I choke on this? What could possibly be wrong?

Hi,

This feeling of lump/ something stuck in the throat is a very common symptom. There can be various reasons for it. It may be due to gastritis associated with acid reflux or because of sinusitis with postnasal drip. even sometimes disorders of the muscles(muscles do not relax properly) or even stress or anxiety can cause such symptoms.

This is actually a condition that is usually not worried about. First of all drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and oily food. You must have a gap of 2 hours between eating and sleeping. Practice voice rests, do not shout or use loud voices especially when you have a sore throat. Still, if the symptoms persist then you must get yourself properly examined especially by an ENT doctor, and go for some investigations like complete blood count, x-ray paranasal sinuses, and helicobacter pylori.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
