What Causes Constricted Feeling In Throat?
I have had this constant feeling in my throat for the past couple of days. The best way to explain it is like when you eat a piece of bread w/o enough fluid and it gets stuck in your throat. That s the feeling I am having but it s constant I feel feel like it s narrowing my airway and making me work to breathe. When I look in my throat I see like two tiny holes in the right pocket. I have GERD and have had two nissens. I don t know what is going on if this is an adverse effect or what.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constricted feeling in throat which is very common problem after having meals due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. You to take few preventive measures such as raise bed level on head side. Eat at least one hour before going to bet , take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Get ECG done as well to monitor cardiac functions. You should take antacid after every meal like gelusil. Take combination of proton pump inhibitors along with antacids such as rantidine, omeprazole. Drink plenty of water. You should do moderate workout as well so loosen weight.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
