What Causes A Feeling Of Fluttering In The Throat For A 58-year-old?
I ve been having a fluttering in my throat then sometimes an urge to cough. It s intermittent..sometimes lasts for 5 mins. I feel basically fine though otherwise. I am 58 - female, caucasian taking no prescription drugs except for GERD but take only intermittently when eating foods that aggrevate it. I have been recently taking garcinia cambogia..could that be causing it?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to GERD. The acid reflux can cause the fluttering in the throat and the cough. I suggest to use antacids such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily. I also suggest using Maalox three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
