Hi Marjil1,
Unless the lump in the throat causes difficulty in swallowing or difficulty in breathing you need not worry about it.
Whether it is a real lump or a functional one, can be made out with an endoscopy.

Pardon my intrustion as I am not a doctor but a fellow Silent Reflux sufferer. I have also suffered from anxiety which can give you that lump in the throat sensation as well. My theory is that you are anticipating that unpleasant feeling and maybe that causes anxiety which is relieved by the glass of wine. I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution to your problem.
That's what I don't understand. The feeling of a lump in my throat and pressure go away when I have a glass of wine... could this be something else?
Hi Marcij1,
Feeling of lump in the throat is one of the symptoms of GERD.
Alcohol worsens the symptoms of GERD.
For confirmation of GERD 24 hours pH monitoring can be done.
