Why Do I Get A Feeling Of Lump In The Throat With Breathing Difficulty ?
Hi, I have been suffering from the feeling of lump in my throat for months now. I have consulted a doctor many times, they gave me med for acid reflux . I feel a little better but it is still there. I am feeling so uncomfortable and annoyed by this feeling. I underwent barium swallow and the result is that I had normal esophagus . I went back to my doctor and prescribed me the same medicine, but I told him that Sometimes I could not breathe deeply. Therefore he wrote another lab requests- 2d Echo and complete pulmonary function test . I haven t done this because I could not get off work. After seeing these requests, I felt scared. And I noticed, after taking pantoloc for the reflux, I could feel my heartbeat- and some of my shoulders muscles feel quivering. I got even more scared. I could notice my heartbeat especially when I am lying at night whcih keeps me from sleeping. The next morning i would wake up my eyes have dark circle? Am i experiencing the side effects of pantoloc/ epapromazole? SHould I stop taking it? Or am I having some kind of panic attack? Help me please...I m trying not to be stressed.. Thank you for your time.
Hi welcome to health care magic forum,
Feeling of lump in throat is a common symptom of extra esophageal reflux disease. Other cause of lump in throat is globus pharyngus , thyroid problem or chronic pharyngitis.
GERD/ Extra esophageal disease is due to gastritis or acid peptic disease and usualy pantoloc (pantoprazole) works .In this case barium swallow or clinical exam may be normal.
Globus pharyngeus is a psychosomatic disorder . It is a diagnosis of exclusion and need counseling .
As you fell breathlessness so you must undergo PFT and 2D Echo to exclude any cardiopulmonary problem.
I would suggest don't panic about your symptoms. Just continue pantoprazol and let visit an ENT specialist and a pulmologist or cardiologist to exclude any organic disorder.
Keep confidence and belief on your doctors and dont push yourself to corner of fear.
I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.
I think you are suffering from stress induced gastritis. Pentoprazole is not responsible for the side effects you have mentioned.
I advice you to take pentoprazole for week and avoid consumption of spicy food, alcohol and smoking. I think the tests are not required. You are stressed, i advice not to panic, it is simple gastritis which will be relieved.
Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further queries.
Regards
