I have something going on with my throat. It feels like sinus drainage but it's not. It feels like a lump when I swallow that won't go away. Kinda like a lot of mucus. I'm always clearing my throat but it doesn't do any good. Thought maybe it was gerd, but I have no heartburn. I've taken prilosec and gaviscon but it does no good. I had an egd done the other day. He dialated part of my esophagus because he said it was a little small but he didn't see anything to be concerned about. He did see some h.pyloria and biopsied some areas but doesn't think there's cancer. Anyway, off and on I will be eating and then all of a sudden I feel like I can't swallow. It's happened a few times. Tonight we went out to eat and I was eating for a few minutes and all of a sudden I had a mouthful of food and I couldn't get it down. I tried to swallow like 3 times and almost was afraid I might pass out or something. Really scary. I did manage to swallow and then told my hubbie I had to go to the car. I then started to cry because I'm so scared something is wrong with me. We took the leftovers home and when I got home I managed to eat the rest of it okay. Does anyone ever do this? I know I'm probably thinking too hard about swallowing. Is it just anxiety? Why can I eat several bites just fine and then all of a sudden I can't swallow the next bite? It happened the other day when I was alone in the kitchen eating and I really wasn't even thinking about swallowing and after a few bites, it happened. I just want this to go away and I want my throat to feel normal again. I'm fine at night when I sleep but as soon as I get up I have this awful lump feeling that is always there. I'm taking some xanax, but it doesn't help.
