What Could It Be If Having A Feeling Of Lump In Throat Which Is Relieved After Burping Or Passing Gas?
I have a feeling of a lump in my throat. Acid (heartburn) . It comes and goes during the day for three days now. Worse during the day. At night, relaxed I am fine. When active it gets worse. Often at its worst, if I burp or pass gas there is relief. Cold water helps but is temporary.

Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms are suggestive of GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease), with possible H.pylori infection of the stomach/duodenum.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe appropriate treatment.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
