lump in esophagus

So I am a 27 year old female, for the last year or so I have had super bad migraines. Which have gotten better with time. Now I am experiencing a painless lump in my esophagus. I have been to the doctor at least 4 times in the last month trying to figure out what is going on. So they put me on Prednisone 25mg three times a day at the same time. I finished those off and lost my voice completely and the lump in my throat never changed. So they then put me on Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day.

hi I m only 15 and I recently noticed a small lump below and in between my chest I just need to know if it is somting critical This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/235061'>Lump below sternum</a>.

I have been noticing difficulty in swallowing and a sort of lump in the throat feeling.Also a tight sensation in the chest.My throat also feels very dry.have had tests that have ruled out the heart.These symptoms have been going on for more than 6 months.due to see a gastro Doc next week.Do these symptoms sound like something serious.Any advice appreciated, Dimi.

For about 4 years now, I've had this weird lump in my throat. It's not there all the time but I notice it mostly at night. It feels like I have to keep swallowing my saliva. It keeps me awake and I'm really worried that I have cancer in my esophagus. I rarely get heart burn and it's the only symptom that I have. Is it possible that I have Barrett's esophagus?

I have had a feeling of a lump in my throat almost continuously for several months now - used to be off and on but now it's al the time. I have had several tests done due to some gastro symptoms. An endoscopy showed that there is mild/moderate hyperplasia in a small area at the z-line. The doc said its prob a reaction to inflamation from light reflux. My questions are, is it possible that the lump feeling is a result of the hyperplasia?

I have a lump in my throat. It is very bothersome, but I don't have it all of the time. Tonight I am having a really bad time with it and I have had it all day. I have had a barium swallow, endoscopy of the throat and esophagus. Also a colonoscopy last week. The barium swallow was normal, the endoscopy showed a narrowing of the esophagus which the doctor stretched. A benign cell tumor was seen and is being biopsied. The colonoscopy showed only mild diverticulus and internal hemerhoids.

I have been checked for barretts and do not have. I have a lump sensation in my throat, have been to tow doctors the second doc. for 2nd opinion. He did find 2 ulcers, but no answer about lump in throat. The first doc. told me I might have anxiety, or stress and put me on clonopin, I have been on clonopin for two years. I have had all types of test done, with no result. I know this lump is real, but I feel like no one can understand and no answers.

my daughter says she has promblems breathing and she says it feel like a lump or not is in her throat,she can eat run play ,but she has promlems trying to breath i was wondering was it acid relux like food that has moved through properly?

If I forget just one day, I have heartburn and indigestion by the afternoon/evening. I recently started feeling this lump in my esophagus too. It seems to help if I take several tums, but I'm not convinced it's my hernia since I have never had this feeling before (other than when taking a large pill). I quit smoking 2 years ago, and have been vaping ever since (down to 6mg and no diacetyl).

Except now I have what seems like a big lump in my throat when I swallow. It is not painful at all. I have acid reflux and just recently started taking vitamin C. I've noticed more heartburn the past three days. Anyway, anyone have any idea what this feeling in my throat could be??

HR would spike in 200s, elevated BP, SOB, chest pain, tightness in chest and throat, heavy lump in throat, flushing, weakness, tingling and numbness in legs and arms...pratcially every known SVT symptom all at once. EP doctor diagnosed it as left atrial tachy. I am 6 weeks post ablation and feel much better. Ablation seems to be succesfful but dr said there were a few more spots that could give me trouble later down the road.

I went thorough a similar problem 9 years ago with the lump in the throat and anxiety. I also had a stricture in my Esophagus just 3 years ago that had to be stretched and for me,there was a definite difference between the two and how they felt. With the stricture, I was having bad Acid reflux, to the point that it caused the Esophagus to scar up and it actually was narrowing. When I would eat or drink, it felt like the food just moved so slowly down my throat, especially cold drinks.

I just want relief and to be pointed in the right direction on how to get back a normal feeling in my throat. If there was a problem in my esophagus would the ENT have seen that as well?

I sure wish I could help you. I not only have spasms, I have constant "lump sensation" in my throat for over a yr now and pain in my esophagus and now since spring have great difficultly breathing, actually "catching my breath". I've been to lung dr, heart dr and GI drs, all on several occasion. Last week they stretched my esophagus and hoped that would help but nothing! I have tried so many meds, no help!

Does anyone feel like its hard to swallow? I feel like there is a lump in my throat and chest. I was dx w/ pots. Does it ever go away?

Hello, In some patients, acid can reflux into the throat causing inflammation of the back of the throat which can lead to pharyngitis, or into the vocal cords, which can lead to laryngitis and hoarseness. Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found.

Two months ago I started to have symptoms of a lump sensation in my throat with a feeling of mucas in the back of my throat, and short burps. My doctor wanted to start with a nasal spray to see if this were from allergies. I tried the spray, but it really did not help anything. One month ago, I was visiting family, and had horrible stomach pains. The holidays were taking its toll. Thinking it had something to do with reflux due to stomach pain and burping, I tried Prilosec.

your lump in the throat is probably harmless "globus pharyngeus", in other words, your cricopaharyngeal muscle in your throat is just too tight. Two major reasons for this are reflux and increased stress (and why not both!). More information e.g. homepage.mac.com/changcy/globus.htm. Most voice and swallowing centers tell something about this as it is such a classical symptom of laryngopharyngeal reflux.

Can you elaborate on the lump and its specific position in your chest? The lump could be a cyst or infected hair follicle. Hernias are often located in the groin, umbilicus, midline of the abdomen and other places with anatomical weaknesses. Over-the-counter pain medications may help provide relief. However, if it persists, I recommend that you have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination is essential. Take care and best regards.

I to feel like there is a lump in my throat and that I have mucus all the time down by the esophagus.

Hello, My aunt is having this continuous problem for two years, with this chocking sensation/lump in throat, occasional pains in the chest, difficulties at swallowing and because of this has hard times eating. She eats more crushed food, soups etc. We went to make some X-rays and I was hopping if I could get an opinion on what she might have. Thank you anticipated!

Im 26 year old female im 6 weeks pregnant also the problem is i have a feeling in my neck like im being strangled like someone is pushing on y neck n i can eat fine altho it feels llike it hard to breath any idea what it could be ?

This can be one of the GERD sensations and symptoms. It's not always heartburn as the esophagus is long and can send some non-descript feelings along its length when it's irritated such as pain, lump in throat, tightness, nausea, "flutter," etc. Drugs and food can affect the sphincter and allow stomach acid to backflow from the stomach to irritate the lower esophagus.

I am 32 and female.I have nasea sometimes with a lump in my throat. It feels like a fist in my upper abdomen just under my ribs. In the last few months I have gained closed to 10 pounds yet I eat well and have ate this way for years. My bowel movements have went from every other day to one or twice every two weeks. Help whats going on with me?

t been able to swallow as freely as normal. Yesterday I decided to look in my mouth and I notice that I have a lump at the back of my throat. I had my tonsils taken out when I was younger, but they always said that some has been left behind in the scar tissue. Is it possible for just 1 tonsil to grow back and cause problems swallowing or could it be something else!? I wanted to add a photo so you could see, but the lump is at the back of the throat on just 1 side behind the uvula.
