Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Throat

i have been experiencing a feeling of a lump in my throat- like something is stick and i can t swallow it down, however nothing is there... i looked up this sensation because that s what it is- i ve seen forums calling it silent reflux. i have been experiencing this for a few months, but now it s progressed to a strained/tightened feeling and gurgles will come up my esophagus- like a burp but not a burp at all... all this is very uncomfortable and seems to be getting even more unbearable, it s getting a little frightening, actually... what could this be? (it does get worse if i stress over it...)

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This could be due to gastric reflux.
I recommend the following.
1) Avoid taking tea or coffee before food.
2) Keep regular diet habits and skipping meals.
3) Take dinner at least 3 hour before bedtime.
4) Proton pump inhibitors like tab rabeprazole
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
