I seem to have the same exact problem like you !! Can I know what happened to you ?? Did you see a doctor? What was the problem?
I have scleroderma and lately I have had the same problem. Its not that painful but its always there that feeling at the back of my throat. I can't get it to go away no matter what I tried. I have had it for three weeks and I'm scared.
Hi there,
Congrats on making the decision to quit smoking! I know it is not going to be easy (I am a choco-holic and if anyone asked me to quit eating choccies I would not be able to do it). Just persist and you'll have a longer and healthier future.
I had my tonsils removed when I was 29 and I had chronic problems with tonsillitis and it is no joke to remove it when you're an adult, but I am glad I did.
If you get tonsillitis more than 3-4 times a year, you should get it removed. That will already improve your symptoms.
The treatment for the Chrico muscle dysfunction is medication (Endep and Diazapam - to relax the muscle) but that did not help and then I had a dilation of my Oesophagus and that gave me temp relief and I also had botillium injections into the muscle and 90% of my symptoms improved, but it only lasts 2 months and it is a very painful and uncomfortable procedure and I am not going to do it again. And last resort is surgery - Myotomy, but it is to risky and I will not agree to it.
The food that gets stuck: you need modified barium swallow to see what type of food gives you symptoms. This test is done at a Radiologist with a Speech Pathologist and ENT that reviews it.
Thank you so much for the advise, yah! I already quit smoking its been 2days now after reading all the comments I value my life even more. I hope your okay now?
what did the doctor advise you.. are you still having that feeling on your throat?
is really irritating I drink a lot of water just to flush it out but its still there even my doctor don't know what is it.. the ENT doctor suggest to remove my tonsils but im still thinking about it.....
Hi there,
I have been battling with ENT issues since 2009: that all to familiar "something is stuck in my throat" feeling as well as changes in my voice and chronic sore throat. To cut a really long story short: I was diagnosed with severe acid-reflux/GERD (even though I never had the sensation of heartburn!) and even have pre-cancerous tissue at the bottom of my Oesophagus from this. I had my anti-reflux surgery but the ENT symptoms persisted.
I was then diagnosed with: Chricopharengeal muscle dysfunction due to severe reflux. I have never even smoked, so imagine how bad it would have been for me if I did.
Smoking will definitely make any health issue worse and you should really quit.
hi! guys i also have the same situation its been two yrs now since i have this feeling, that something is stuck behind my tonsils. I smoke and drink too. I'm so worried and scared that i might have a serious illness or disease, so one day I visit my ENT doctor do some examine and found out that my tonsils has been attack by infections the surface of my tonsils are like the crater of the moon.
