Very strange feeling in throat

by char87, Nov 05, 2009 10:11AM
For the past two days I have noticed a very strange sensation in my throat.  It's hard to explain, but it feels like a filmy substance briefly envelopes my throat and it's a slightly suffocating feeling.  It only lasts for a few seconds and then goes away, but reoccurs every so often.

I also feel slightly dizzy and a bit overheated when this occurs, but this could also be in my imagination as I'm probably anxious about what's happening.

Please help with any thoughts as to what might be going on.  It's really scaring me.

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
What you are experiencing is probably acidity and gastric reflux. For this you can try some medication and lifestyle changes. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals and take frequent small ones. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food.
If symptoms persist consult your PCP.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
