Are you sure it is food? I have had GERD for 7 years now and I will have times
where it feels like food is stuck in my throat or creeping up my throat or I get
a lump in my throat. It is not food, for me at least, but my throat having
spasms and it feels like it is food. Now the odd thing is I also have an anxiety
disorder and I am med phobic. I can remember being a kid and having to take a
pill without water and it feeling like it got stuck in my throat but it wasn't
stuck, it had already gone thru but the feeling was still there. In my case,
part of my GERD problem is associated with fear of chocking and then add stress
and you end up with this horrible feeling of food being in the throat. Now I
have had the scope done and also a barium swallow and have ruled out any
"noticeable" problems. Have you been to a doctor and/or had any tests since you
have had this feeling? From being on several GERD boards and researching the
subject, I have found that this stuck feeling and creeping up your throat is
common with GERD. For me, it helps to not overeat, eat slowly, cut up food into
small pieces, drink water with my meal and drink lots of it all day, eat in a
calm environment and don't lay down for three hours after you eat. I'd seriuosly
check your stress because you also could be having a panic attack and the
choking feeling is also associated with that. Something to look into.
