I had posted where I Choked on some food about a wk ago.. and Went to the Drs on the 21st.. she give me some nexium to try and to take Gaviscon.. Tried to take one pill and it feels like it gets stuck there so.. now Im afraid to take anymore.. but.. tried the Gavascon.. that doesnt feel like it does anything.. That was more for .. she thought because my Gerd flared up it would help keep things down and not in my throat and irritating it any further..

Then My sinuses start up.. with more thick muscous.. I went back to the Drs today and saw the GNP that I usually see when I go.. she said I have sinusitis and she thought the phlegm was irratating my throat.. so she put me on an antibiotic. had time taking that too.. its a capsule.. Wonder if that can be opened and put in food or something..

anyways.. my question is.. Do any of you get that feeling like food is there in your throat after you eat? I've been trying to keep to soft foods that are easy to swallow..
If you have .. what do you do for it? .... Diane the GNP thought it was just where the phlegm is getting caught there and irritating it.. She also said to mucinex to help or.. I did use a nasal mist thingie last night and then today it felt worse.. she also give me samples of a spray to dry it up so it wont continue draining and making my throat worse..
Sure hope someone can give me some answers to what they do for it.. Its like hard phlem there .. maybe thats what it is and not food..
Thanks in advance.. Hugs, Deb

Are you chocking or have the feeling of a lump in your throat?

If your actually chocking you may need your esophagus streched. My x had this done several times. He said it gave him a sore throat afterwards, but it was better. Our esophagus tends to close as we age.

If it's from sinuses, have you tried Mucinex, Claritin? It helps me. I know the feeling of having the tightness and feeling like someones got their hands around my throat. It is horrble! Are the meds helping?

Hope this has helped. Robin

Sorry that I didnt get back to check this sooner. What I have been doing is . which I tried Walmarts saline and then today I bought the one called Ocean.. plan on trying it in a few minutes.. Its like my sinuses are draining and sometimes its thick.. then sometimes its kinda loose.
I did end up at the ER saturday night and she put me on Clindomyocin for an impacted Wisdom tooth.. or rather shes assumed it was.. she felt it and said it was a little swollen..

I have noticed too that Im not able to wear a turtleneck.. it really irritates my throat area. sometimes is like I happen to look in the bathroom mirror when washing my hands and it looks like I have a double chin sometimes.. is like fluid builds up there or something.. then it kinda goes away.. Seems like I've been doing that for maybe a yr. so not sure if that is from the tooth.. which doesnt always hurt. or if its my thyroid or what..
The same with this feeling like someone is behind me.. kind of squeezing the back of my throat area and neck.. I was in an automobile accident in March.. had an MRI done in April and I ended back in the ER about a little over a wk after the accident.. He got results on my MRI and said there were 4 slightly bulging dics.. so Im not sure if its something to do with that or what..
I do have to call tomorrow to have my Dr set up an appt for another ultrasound on my thyroid. too. Was living out of town for a while and just moved back recently.. I keep forgetting to call her.. Sheesh.. Its on my list of things to do tomorrow..
Thank you for relpying back to me.. I appreciate it..
