A member asked:

Lump feeling back of throat, had a scope done by gastro doc which showed gerd. i've been on amitriptyline for a month w/ no relief. doc thought spasm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need workup: You need to get workup for pain and lump above left breast and below collar bone. The best treatment of gerd are inhibitors or gastric acid secretion: ppi or h2 blockers.
