Feel like something is stuck in my throat...

Yesterday after lunch I felt like I had something stuck in my throat. I drank some milk, and it didn't go away. Obviously I don't have anything physically stuck there, but it feels like I do. It was horrible, because I was really hungry last night, and I ate dinner to appease my appetite, but my throat issue stayed the same I feel like I just have food sitting there, and it literally feels like if I bend over I will be sick. I took a few Tums last night thinking that would help. Woke up this morning and it's still the same. Has anyone else had this? What is it? And what can I do to make it go away?

You could actually have something small stuck in your espohagus.

Have you tried drinking a hot beverage to help it dissolve?

That's what mild heartburn feels like to me.   Gaviscon seems to help.

My friend had the same thing for her second and third trimester of both of her pregnancies. For her (and for other pregnant women) it was a symptom of acid reflux. She didn't even feel like she had acid reflux, just something in her throat. I'd still mention it to your OB just in case, but there's a good chance that's what it is.

I've had the feeling for months now. My Dr told me its heartburn. I take tums and that seems to help me...

I had this too before I was pregnant. My doc actually said it was a symptom of anxiety.

It's part of having acid reflux. It sucks so bad.

Ask your doctor, but you could have something stuck. You could also have GERD. Zantac 150mg twice a day helped alleviate that feeling for me.

Try a hot beverage.

Gargle the hottest you can stand water with as much salt as you can tolerate. That can disinfect your throat/mouth etc. Avoid minty things as they can irritate the stomach & esophagus.

I had the same feeling like something was stuck in my throat every time I swallowed for a month or so and it turned out to be a tonsil stone! I was able to get it out on my own but it was a challenge.

Acid reflux. My co-worker recently had this issue and I told her acid reflux. Took some pepcid ac or something like that-- totally gone. Check with your PCP. It happened to me at one point!
