Always feel like something is stuck in my throat?

[mtmc]

Ok let me start off by telling everyone that I am an average build 23 year old male. I went to the doctor back in October I believe because I felt like I had something stuck in my throat and I had a very minute ammount of blood in my saliva when I spit. Anyway, he told me I have a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics. Now I have always had allergies and plenty of sinus infections and I knew this was no sinus infection. So I take the antibiotics and nothing changes. So I go back to the same doctors office to see a different doctor. This time because again I feel like something is stuck in my throat and I have a small dull paint to the left of my sternum. The blood in the saliva has stopped at this point. She decides it was acid reflux and gives me a months worth of Protonix and schedules an appt. for me to see someone in gastreology. So I've been taking the protonix and I went to see that doctor and he said he thinks I have acid reflux. I've been taking the Protonix as directed but still all the time I feel like something is stuck in my throat. Feels like it's right behind my tongue in the tonsil area. Sometimes it's on the left and sometime's it's on the right but it's always there. I drink plenty of water and the only other thing I drink is sweet tea and that's every now and then. I've drank it my whole life with no prior problems. Also I've noticed that it seems like something slimy. Almost like mucus drainage or something. I have been able to pull some of it up out of my throat and spit it out but it's clear with no color or spots or anything. No relief comes from that. Sometimes I can make it go away for a couple of minutes if I brush the back of my tongue. I took some Ztus expectorant last night hoping it would release it but no luck. Does anybody else have this problem and what can I do about it? I'm going to schedule an ENT appt. next week. There is no pain, it just feels like there is something stuck there much like when you try to swallow a pill without enough water. It makes me worry when I go to sleep because I'm afraid my throat might swell up causing breathing problems. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You are not alone :)  I have been battling with throat issues for almost 4 years now!  very frustrating and someone who has a normal working throat will never understand why we keep on looking for solutions and help!  it is horrible to live with a throat issue, every day!

So in my experience:  I have a Chricopharengeal muscle dysfunction and get frequent spasms and the muscle has thickened.  Why?  I am not sure, except that I have a history of longstanding GERD, have had the Nissen fundo and have long Barrets segment, but still ENT symptoms.

The "lump" feeling is caused by die Epiglottis that gets swollen and irritated.  I feel like putting my finger down my throat all the time!  I have had a botillium injection into the Chrico muscle, Aug. 2012 and for about 2 months I had NO symptoms!  but the injection has since worked off and I am battling again with sore throat, swollen Epiglottis and horrible taste in my mouth and no appitite!

I would suggest that you see an Otolaryncologist/ENT Specialist for some tests to see if this is your diagnoses?

This is what Im feeling for almost 6 days now. If i am to describe the feeling it is the same thing that I feel everytime I am stressed or everytime I try to control my emotions, my tears. Like a spasm in my throat. It started when I was brushing my teeth, that was after I ate oatmeal with dried fruits, and because I gagged, Some of the food went back and I vomited some of the them. Then after that I got this feeling like something is stuck on my throat. Like when you swallowed medicines and you didnt get to drink enough water and the medicine just got stuck in the throat. Something like that.. I havent consulted a doctor yet.. I hope it just goes away by itself. I
