A member asked:

Can valium help get rid of the feeling of a lump in your throat?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Possibly: If the lump sensation is due to anxiety, it may be impacted by valium. However it would be better to address the underlying cause of your anxiety. See a therapist who practices cognitive behavioral therapy.
