No: Your throat won't close, but could have the sensation it will. If in fact your symptoms are GERD related, ask your doctor if an endoscopic (Stretta) or surgical procedure (fundoplication) would be appropriate. Hope this helps!

Should I trust the doctors at the ER? I have GERD and feel like food is dislodged, no scope, they told me nothing is stuck if I'm able to talk and breathe when I mentioned a thick pizza I ate. Oxygen level normal is 99, tight throat sensation?

A member asked:

Can GERD give you tight throat sensation and choking feeling sensation? I went to the ER since I thought food was stuck in my throat, but they never checked the inside, but said I can eat, drink and talk. Which means most likely nothing is there?
