Question 1

look down throat towards the epiglottis,a lot of white spots gathered in throat. nosymptoms, except feeling something stuck in throat.causes? anxious.

Accepted Answer

Lots of things.: It is better to go to your doctor or  a Quick Care Clinic to have a swab of the lesions to determine what they are and  get it treated. It could be Thrush or Strep throat or nothing at all. This will at least ease your mind.

Question 2

have gerd is ranitidine better than nexium (esomeprazole) and pepcid to help take away burning stuck feeling in throat.

Accepted Answer

There is no one best: medication for GERD. the best med will be the one that you &amp; your doc find helps you the best, with the fewest side effects. ranitidine is an H2 blocker, as is pepcid; while nexium (esomeprazole) is a "PPI" or proton pump inhibitor. it seems unlikely, that if a PPI + an H2 blocker is not fully effective now, that an H2 blocker alone (ranitidine) would be effective. review ur sxs w/ ur MD to find the best tx 4 u!

Question 3

what are some signs confused with hiv ars and anxiety? i have had white tongue which oral surg. says is not yeast, feeling something stuck in throat.

Accepted Answer

Not exactly sure: What info you are asking for. I will provide some anxiety sxs:  feeling nervous or irritable, muscle tension (especially in neck, shoulders ; back), poor quality or minimal sleep, lack of concentration ; easy fatiguability. Lump in throat or butterfly in stomach sensation can occur.   Do any of these fit?

Question 4

i experience unusally tired mucus in the throat difficulty breathing through nose blocked nose and post nasal drip and feeling stuck in my throat?

Accepted Answer

Viral: These symptoms are consistent with a viral upper respiratory tract infection which should run its course in several days. I recommend throat gargling and irrigating your nasal passages with warm salt water.  Drink fluids to keep your mucus moist. Using a decongestant nasal spray should relieve the blockage in your nose. You could also take decongestant tablets recommended by your pharmacist

Question 5

when slumping feeling something is stuck in throat?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: These are symptoms that require a thorough evaluation by your doctor.  Only after obtaining this informstion, can he/she adequately diagnose and treat you.

Question 6

feeling something stuck in my throat one sided. it also feels dry. it comes and goes but ive had it for a while now. causes?

Accepted Answer

Salivary gland/diver: the sensation of something "stuck" in the throat could be secondary to an enlarged salivary gland (associated with dry mouth) secondary to a little stone in the salivary gland duct. Other possibility could be a small diverticulum (a little sac or pouch) on the side of esophagus(the food pipe that goes from the mouth to the stomach). Acid reflux can irritate the upper esophagus  also.

Question 7

feeling food is stuck in throat which specialist to see?

Accepted Answer

Swallowing: I would first see an ent.  If they cannot find a cause, the next doctor to see would be a gastroenterologist.  Feel better!

Question 8

what would cause a feeling of something stuck in throat, and or chest area?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: There are many things that can cause a globus sensation (something in throat). One common cause is reflux. You should definitely be evaluated by your physician to rule out other causes should your symptoms persist!

Question 9

on a recheck of my thyroid and i noticed my thyroid size is going up my isthmus when up from normal .21 from 2019 to 2.7 in 2021 and 3 mm in 23. thyroid rl 4.7 and 4.1 i have complaints about feeling like something stuck in throat when shallowing?

Accepted Answer

: You should check with the doctor who ordered the test for interpretation. If there is concern about the thyroid, you can see an endocrine doctor for evaluation. You should also have thyroid function tests done. Good luck to you!

Question 10

do gerd symptoms include feeling something stuck on your throat?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This is a very common complaint amongst patients with gerd, but is poorly understood. There is definately the sensation something is stuck there, but typically nothing really is. It probably has to do with abnormal sensory input form the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter. In any case, its certainly not dangerous. If you want to check out your gerd, see your doctor.
