sensation of dry mouth and lump in throat

[reeza79]

Any suggestions.  I woke up one day and felt like their was a constant lump in my throat as well as a weird feeling like the back of my tongue is dry or burning(hard to explain). my doctor said it was nasal drip, gave my Flonase but this made my tongue feel more "dry".  I went to an ENT and he said it's lpr and gave me omeprazole twice a day. I went to another ENT and he scoped me and did not really see any inflammation, sent me for a modified barium swallow and that showed slow motility.  I went a GI and he did a endoscopy and saw mild gastritis. I don't know what to do I have a constant lump in my throat but worse is the heaviness/ dry feeling I have on the back of my tongue.  my tongue feels weird and I can't explain other than it feels dry and heavy but only in the back toward my throat.  and the feeling in my throat is like air is pushing it.  I feel like my doctor is blowing me off, he put me on ibs medication, antibiotics and had to beg for thyroid and he just told me it was normal.  please let me know what you think, it makes me cranky because it is constantly bothering me.

I did see my Gi.  I've been o  omezaprozole for 6 months without relief.  He said i had a very small hiatal hernia

Hello,

This sounds like GERD to me, also, could be caused by a hiatal hernia. Talk to your GI about these two possibilities.
