Feeling of food stuck in chest, lower throat and back

[Havefaithx]

Hi guys,

Haven't posted in around a yr, but have been looking at posts all the time.

I have a sensation of food stuck in my throat, chest and back, it's like that feeling when u eat to quick and it's sharp and hurts and u feel it going down, I've had it for a few days now and it's been constant today.

I do have acid reflux and take lansoprozole and also gaviscon advance daily, i think it may be indigestion but not sure? I'm also bloated and not wanting to eat, I've suffered badly this week with ibs and acid reflux.

I have looked into the globus sensation thing but that only tends to be in the throat.

Anyone had any similar experiences?

Thanks

I've had the exact same thing since Wednesday. Although for me it feels more like there is air trapped as I keep feeling the need to burp, but every time I swallow, even saliva, I feel it straining like the air is getting pushed down, and I feel it in my chest and back. I think I strained my oesophagus when I ate too much on Tuesday... But yeah I feel ya!

Haha yeah, I usually eat 5-6 meals a day because of gym training... It's really affecting that at the moment as you can imagine. And I'm spending so long chewing each mouthful... sigh... I hope we both feel better soon!

Welcome to the world of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. I've had it for a few months now. At first it though I was choking constantly or I was having an allergic reaction to something that was making my throat swell. After a few visits with ENT I found out it was Laryngopharyngeal Reflux which is the silent reflux. It takes longer to treat but isn't deadly just extremely annoying.

Can you explain how it feels for you?

Mine isn't high up in the throat... it's more a pain between the shoulder blades in my back and the corresponding area in my chest... feels like it's full of air but I can't relieve it...
