228936 tn?1249094248 Hi, I have some reflux problems and swallowing /throat problems that my doctor said could be from long term untreated reflux. Could this make it difficult to sing, ie, making my throat feel irritated while singing? This is a problem because I am a musician and am expected to sing sometimes.
Avatar f tn I had a bad cold and then got laryngitis. That lasted 3 weeks and then the 4th week my voice came back but still hoarse. I have pain on my left side of my neck and tenderness on that side when I swallow. Dr checked me out and said throat is not red and gave me pills for acid reflux. It's been 4 days and don't think its acid reflux....voice and neck still the same. Anyone know what it could be ??
Avatar n tn The throat specialist said my problems were due to reflux. I have no symptoms of reflux or heartburn. He said that didn't matter, it was still caused by reflux. ( I have been on Nexium, and Asteline spray for the throat. Very little help) The doctor did refer me to an ENT to have my stomach looked at. Is it possible for a hiatial hernia to cause problems with my throat and voice.
722661 tn?1230925283 The videoscope they did before Christmas does show irritation in my throat from acid. i am on prevacid, which is a proton pump inhibitor. If you are having problems, you have to follow the reflux diet faithfully and it can take a year or longer to heal. Some things that I don't have anymore thanks to this diet - coffee, soda, any carbonated beverage, alcohol, chocolate, fruit juices except for cranberry. Forget tomato based products, including the beloved salsa.
Avatar f tn But, I was diagnosed with lpr which is acid that comes all the way to the top of your throat, your mouth, etc. so...the sore throat at least in my case is from the acid constantly burning the vocal cords which causes swelling and inflammation. Makes sense when you think about it. Anyhow, there are a variety of different ppi meds other than nexium, and prilosec. There are also other drugs like zantac, like tagamet and pepcid that may help.
Avatar n tn ive had acid reflux problems a long time and have been taking esomeprazole 20mg for years. recently i suffered a severe bout of indegestion, it burnt my throat and ive had stomach discomfort ever since. ive been to the doctor and he has increased my medication to 40mg 2 weeks ago but im still uncomfortable and my stomach feels swollen i am putting on weight despite cutting down on my food .
Avatar n tn Hi, Even i faced the problem of sticky mucus coming to throat after eating for the past 1.5 years . IT is highly irritating and i had almost developed an aversion to food and then lost weight. Actually problem is related to wrong digestion and wrong respiration. If food is not properly digested then it gets converted into phlegm and affects the body as a whole. In general the ayurvedic treatement and yogasanas(YOGA) helped me a lot.
Avatar f tn s the only thing that soothes the acidic burn in my throat and prevents me from choking on acid again. Again, people who only have mild reflux during pregnancy may be different idk. I get reflux film everything..even water.

Avatar m tn Im 37 years old male, start of 2014 I got really sick, lost 17kg in two weeks and started having non stop throat problems, My local GP is useless! All he has diagnosed me with is anxiety and has given me somac for acid reflux which is not helping. It feels like someone is strangling me all the time, my glands are always swollen and I'm always spitting out a thick white phlem, plus coughing up a green & yellow moucus that is in a clear thick phlem .
Avatar n tn They are probably related to psychological problems. The most common cause is gastro esophageal reflux disease - GERD. Diagnosis is by fibroptic laryngoscopy. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy also helps confirm the GERD diagnosis. Gastroesophageal reflux is treated by elevating the head of the bed six to eight inches, avoiding foods and beverages for two to three hours before bedtime, and eliminating alcohol and caffeine from the daily diet.
Avatar f tn You can feel heartburn in your chest with acid reflux you feel in your throat its not the same thing but im exactly the same no heartburn just acid reflux which i got the tums smoothie flavors and only have to take one and it goes away but on the back of the bottle it tells you its for heartburn, acid reflux, and tummy problems
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with acid reflux last year.the coughing after eating was my symptoms.now I am havin problems clearing my throat all time.pulmonologist suggested Claritin d with my nexium.doesnt seem to be working...any other allergy meds would help....maybe Zyrtec?
Avatar n tn I too have been told I have acid reflux and I don't suffer from heartburn. After doing some research and reading what other have said, it's possible to have reflux without having the classic symptoms. Were you diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal reflux? That causes problems with your throat and can affect your voice.
Avatar m tn Acid reflux is an often over looked cause for sinus and throat problems from PND, sinus infections, hoarse voice. Acid can even be aspirated and cause asthma like symptoms. Many people are miss diagnosed with asthma that really just have very bad acid reflux. When the acid reflux is controlled, their asthma goes away. The formal name for this type of asthma is laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux. Good doctor too consider that possibility. I hope that the treatment works for you.
Avatar f tn Before I saw the doctor Id experienced none of the symptoms associated with acid reflux whatsoever, except the throat swelling. My question is this: has anyone else experienced acid reflux with little to no symptoms except what feels like a swelling throat? Are there medications that actually work? Could it be a throat ulcer? Other pertinent information: the throat symptom happened all at once. One day I was fine, the next I wasn't and haven't been since.
Avatar n tn Can this throat issue clear up on its own or do I need to ask the doc about acid reflux? I only ask because it was feeling allot better today.
Avatar f tn I have been noticing changes in my voice like I can't sing or hit a different pitch without my voice changing. My voice seems "irritated". My ent dr looked down my throat with a scope and said my throat was irritates behind my vocal cords and said since I don't smoke it is acid reflux. He placed me on Prilosec and I have been on this for almost 2 months and I don't seem better. Is there something better I should try? Or could my voice changing be caused by something else?
1890554 tn?1322678048 I explained I was getting worse and that now I had an inflamed palate sore throat, and burning chest. I asked her if acid reflux could be causing most of my symptoms making them seem as an acute attack of asthma and allergies. She stopped and looked at me with huge open eyes. She said her sister had been diagnosed with asthma and treated with every med out there with no avail. Even had to carry her own nebulizer for months until somebody diagnosed her with GERD, she now lives a normal life!!!
1381899 tn?1279226240 Did your dr talk to you about acid reflux? Acid reflux can cause the feeling of having a lump in your throat. It also can cause breathing issues. It also tends to get worse at night.
3144875 tn?1343056791 I have been having troubles with my throat for the last 7-8 month,it started right after I found out I had Hypothyroid so I thought it was just a symptom of that but as time went on it got worse and my doctors said that my thyroid problems would not be causing the symptoms I was having so they did 2 CAT scans,an Ultrasound,Many Throat cultures and put a scope up my nose and down my throat....
Avatar f tn Any way ENT said I have acid reflux sending me for a barrium swallow follow up with a gastro dr. With this I have chest pain and middle back pain. Foods really donot bother me I watch what I eat.
Avatar f tn In acid reflux disease, acid from your stomach gets into your esophagus, throat and mouth. Stomach acid can irritate all of these structures.
Avatar m tn Is it possible to have Acid reflux without the bitter / sour taste? I can get the feeling of a little lump at the back of the throat which is more irritated by talking for a more prolonged period of time in a higher tone of voice. If i had Acid reflux why is the talking irritating it and not the Acid?
Avatar f tn But it wears off towards the end of the day, which lead to me constantly belching up ( yes i know tmi gross) acid... My throat has been hurting now for two days i am worried the acid from my stomach has actually burnt my throat! Anyone ever had this happen??? If so what is a wayto relieve the pain it is pretty intense...
