Re: Lump in the Throat and Hoarseness

Yes Joy! Had it checked out by doc, she said its from reflux, alot of reflux

makes the voicebox swollen. So

that is the feeling of having a lump in my throat and hoarseness in my voice.

You still might have it checked out though!

Hi ,

I went to 2 ENT's both said it was from reflux. This has been ongoing now for 3

months and doesn't feel much better. I'm a singer so it's very hard for me. Did

ultrasound - they found a growth - blood seems to be ok - but still

investigating. Eating and drinking seems to help for a bit but as soon as eating

is over the feeling of constriction returns. So sad about this whole thing and I

don't know what else to do.

Thanks for hearing me out - Joy

Hi,

Does anyone have a lump in their throat and hoarseness?

Thanks,

Joy

YES! And it's caused by caffeine! :-(

Went to the doctor and got the prescription for Prilosec. Never actually used it

yet, though. I just cut out caffeine (chocolate, coffee) and the

lump/hoarsness/paralyzed feeling went away. It's back today because I haven't

had sleep and drank a cup of coffee this morning. Even decaf causes it. Even

caffeine free pepsi causes it. If there's a trace of caffeine, the nerves in the

back of my throat stop working, I have trouble swallowing, I get hoarse, I have

trouble speaking with slurred speech and difficulty saying ing or k. The effect

is immediate, within two minutes, and lasts about a day. I don't feel/taste any

reflux.

I have trouble with caffeine too. I used to drink a lot of coffee but now I do

about a cup a day. SOme days I can get a full cup down with no issues and

others, like today, I start regurgitating right away! I mostly drink 7up instead

of Pepsi, which I sadly miss!
