    I have Acid reflux and what feels like a small lump when i swallow
    i had this checked and it was due to the Acid doing something to the
    Esophagus, had it now for about 4 years have just learned to live with it, somedays are better than others
    I gave up smoking because of it 4 years ago as i too thought i had throat cancer

    Acid reflux is horrid, I've had it just over a year and it is making life hell. The throat problems have only just started with me, my problem is chest pains and upper stomach spasms. I've had the camera down too.

    I also smoke but am now on patches to quit.. smoking (like caffiene) relaxes the oesophagus which makes reflux worse apparantly.
