Sotheing with my throut

[mike140]

Hi, for about 2 month I got a feeling that something is in my throat. I was very stressed at that time and anxiety was killing me. Sometimes I feel like that I have like some king of a rash in the back ion my tongue and I can feel it only when I swallow saliva (have no problem eating). I went to ENT and he did not see anything. Sometimes I feel something on a right side of a throat when I swallow (saliva only) sometimes on other side. I went to another ENT and she said one of the throat walls is kind of irritated and it might be red due to acid but she did not give me anything.
So, my question is - does anyone experience something like that? Can it be caused by acid reflex? Can it be just an anxiety as I read online? Thank you all.

Thank for for information.  I will see ENT again but for now would you recommend to take PRILOSEC otc drug or I would need something else? Also, I never had any problems before so do you think that in can be caused by anxiety?

Mike, 'high' acid reflux can and does cause throat irritation. It seems to be a specific form of reflux called LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux). If this is what is going on, you need to see an ENT who knows how to treat the condition since it seems from many of the reports that it should be treated in a different manner from 'regular' acid reflux. If there is just a 'feeling' of a lump, it could also be related to acid reflux - a sensation called 'globus' that is reported by many with GERD.
