Throat cancer heartburn

Common Questions and Answers about Throat cancer heartburn

throat

Avatar f tn I am a white 34 year old female, non-smoker/never smoked a day in my life, and rarely drink. I went to the ER Friday evening/Saturday morning because I had chest, arm, and back pain. They drew blood, did an ekg, and an xray. They came back normal, and diagnosed me with GERD and torn muscles in my upper back, and muscle strain in my elbows. I believe I've had GERD for most or all of my life, but without the heartburn. I never realized what I had.
Avatar f tn It could i guess be throat cancer But it could also be the heartburn from acid reflux due to the hernia..I go to doc tommorrow. But I cant stop obsessing..and to make matters worse--I dont have insurance..cant afford it because my husband makes too much money---yep;;the good old government wants me to pay 800./month...Im goin to dr for 80. dollars--endo may cost up to 10,000. but so would my deductables..so whatever. But this is causing more anxiety..I keep thinking its cancer..
Avatar m tn i have also had some heartburn, so i wonder if these could be the symptoms of gerd. i am seeing an ent, he checked my throat and didn't see any growths and is going to have an mri done on me. in the meantime i am quite frightened, especially of throat cancer, has anyone had the same symptoms? i am beside myself with fear.
Avatar f tn She says may be from GERD, but I only get acid reflux once or twice a year, though when I do it is up into the mouth, no heartburn. Is there any significant chance that this may be GERD or simple ulcer in my throat or should I try to prepare for a finding of supraglottal cancer?
Avatar m tn You also used to have a habit that is known to dull (burn) the nerves, cause damage to your throat, and cause heartburn, and now that your throat is healing, you feel the heartburn. The acid went all the way up to your tongue and caused all the thick mucus, raw feeling surfaces. This may indicate a condition known as LPRD (related to GERD). Recommendation: stop eating peppermints. In fact, try following a GERD diet now that you've stopped smoking. Your body will need time to heal.
Avatar f tn I am a 47 year old woman who has had symptoms for a couple of years (hoarseness, lump in throat, sometimes dry cough, etc.). I know that I have a nodule on my vocal chords as well as 2 nodules (one in each lobe) in my thyroid. The thyroid nodules are approximately 3 mm each. According to the ultrasound reports (I had one recently and also one three years ago), my thyroid gland is not enlarged and the nodules haven't changed significantly.
678297 tn?1226546462 Do you have any indigestion or heartburn? Any other symptoms going on in your mouth? I had a sore throat for a couple months and a feeling of a lump in my throat with difficulty swallowing. Turned out to be acid reflux. Not sure if that's what you have, but thought I'd mention.
Avatar f tn Do you normally have a lot of heartburn? The reason I ask is that I had heartburn all the time and got the same feeling in my throat that you describe. I had an endoscopy and they found I had an esophageal stricture. He stretched it while he was in there. It felt like I had a lump in my throat all the time and my chest hurt through to my back. Hope this helps.
4364093 tn?1365869659 Oh my gosh!! It just wont let up. This whole pregnancy I've had the worst heartburn. Before I was pregnant I never ever had it. But its so bad that its waking me up in the morning. Anybody else dealing with the same thing??
Avatar f tn thyroid nodules can cause this problem, and so can a thyroid goitre, all benign, so can thyroid cancer, so can throat cancer, and so can just plain ol muscle spasm... the most common is muscle spasm under stress and dehydration also lack of magnesium.. hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Essentially I have had throat pain for an extended period of time. It's a minor pain when swallowing but noticeable; further more it's tender to the touch when pressed. When I press my finger and apply the same amount of pressure to the left side of my throat it isn't tender. Also note I've chewed tobacco for 7yrs. And have to take Zantac heartburn pills twice daily or else my day and night will be torture with heart burn.

Avatar f tn would a small lump feeling in throat that comes and goes be lung cancer. I am a nervous wreck. My Dr said it could be that,,,even though I also have acid reflux, hiatal hernia..he said its a small chance but i have high anxiety.
Avatar f tn The heartburn went away for a few weeks, but then came back with a vengeance and wreaked havoc on my life for the next couple of months. It caused sore throat, and heartburn mainly, and also developed fluid in the inner ear which caused chronic pain and popping. It improved, but I still get episodes of heartburn/gerd every now and then, just not as bad as it was over the summer.
Avatar n tn s is at the lowest stage, however given the aggressiveness of my case, my biggest fear is that it will turn into full-blown cancer. I have slept with the bed raised for years; I have used Nexium before meals 2x day for years. I don't usually have any heartburn as part of my GERD. However -- recently when out on the town, I had several bouts of a "crushing feeling" in my chest. It was different than just heartburn though.
Avatar n tn I also initially went into the regular doc with a feeling of something stuck in my throat and, without even palpating my throat, the PCP sent me straight off for a slew of GI testing. All perfectly normal results came back, including a biopsy the looked for eosinophils which would have been indicative of allergy/sinus problem. My ENT had just examined me and pronounced my sinuses clear but he chekced, I assume it was a rotuine part of the endoscopy.
378497 tn?1232143585 For about the last four weeks, I've had heartburn/reflux (real reflux, too) pretty much every single night. I almost never have had heartburn (unless in late pregnancy), and now, I'm waking up every night, reaching for the Zantac. I can't really take it pre-emptively right before bed because it might interfere with my BCP. Anyone had a problem like this? I don't take in much caffeine, this doesn't appear to be food related in any way.
Avatar m tn Recently my dad has been burping more than normal. He has always burped a lot, but I don't understand how he just burps randomly without having just eaten or drank anything. It worries me immensely because I was looking online and found that people with cancer burp a lot. I found that one person said that her dad had been burping more than normal before he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. My dad doesn't complain about the burping, it's just something that I have noticed.
Avatar f tn For the last month I have this feeling of a lump in my throat which feels like something is stuck. No heartburn but feeling of pain in ribs. My ENT wants me to see a gastro dr. but feels that my thryroid has nothing to do with my throat feeling the way it does. He said I have acid reflux. He said I worry to much, can you believe that. Well any way schedules an appt with a gastro dr. My question is does anyone else have this problem with fullness in throat and thryroid problems.
Avatar f tn ) as you have no clue what is happening. I had no pain in the throat, but the acid tingled my mouth. Mouth tasted metallic and throat was very harsh the next day. That was my first trip to the Dr for GERD, as I had no idea I even had it. I hated sleeping for quite a while after that. Never had heartburn in my life. Because you can sometimes sleep thru mild episodes of Silent Reflux, its best for anyone with this condition to jack up the head of the bed 4-8 inches, maybe forever.
Avatar f tn Besides the chest pain does it feel as if something is stuck in your throat?
7998970 tn?1435183202 I started experience heartburns for the 1st time. It's a very uncomfortable feeling in your throat. To me it feels like I'm having allergic reaction or something n my throat.
Avatar f tn I am worried that I am too late and that I have that Barrets or have esophogus cancer. I have no other symptoms really - havent had an incidence of heartburn in a long time until a few days ago. I plan on making an appt. with doc next week. My mom died of uterine cancer so I am very psycho about cancer. Should I be worried? Thank you.
Avatar f tn I had a scope, no cancer, recently I was on a trip, went to a Hotel, my throat closed...could not breath..after going to the ER two times, and to several Dr.s, I was diagnosed with laryngospasm. It has stopped- I took Deglyzerized Licorice, and coconut oil, and cut back on foods. I am concerned I have something living in my esophagus! I feel activity- turning etc...my throat needs constant clearing. At night, I wake from the turning sensation when I lie on my back?
