gerd

hello, i have had ear pain, mild sore throats, feels like something stuck in my thraot, clear throat alot, and stiff neck which i can feel a swishing sound when i walk. i have also had some heartburn, so i wonder if these could be the symptoms of gerd. i am seeing an ent, he checked my throat and didn't see any growths and is going to have an mri done on me. in the meantime i am quite frightened, especially of throat cancer, has anyone had the same symptoms? i am beside myself with fear.

I have all of those symptons and have been diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal (silent acid reflux).  I am beter since taking Prilosec and getting a bed wedge to sleep on.  There is a danger of throat cancer if this is not taken care of.  It is important to eliminate the foods that cause the acid.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.
