GERD: GERD can cause a sensation of a lump in the throat, although it is not due to enlarged salivary glands, but is usually a sign that GERD is not under good control. I would discuss with your doctor whether you should have a different medication or at least a change in the dose of your Prilosec. I would be diligent in anti-reflux measures and in avoiding any food which makes your GERD worse.

Can GERD cause a feeling of something stuck in your throat that gets worse when drinking liquids? Even water and warm tea make the sensation of "a lump" worse for a few minutes until swallowing a few times?
