Lump/stuck/feeling Between My Throat Area

All day I have had this lumpy/stuck kind of feeling somewhere in my throat area. I have been able to breath and eat (salad and nuts) and they go down just fine. I just have no clue what this feeling is. It started early this morning and I had not had anything to eat or drink by then. It hasnt moved with liquids and I can breath fine. Has anyone every experienced anything even similar to this?

    I had this feeling (what it sounds like) for a while after surgery. Called my doc and he said since everything was going down fine, it was most likely gas trapped in the band. I had it mostly at nig

Do you have allergies? It could be post nasal drip. Maybe you have reflux and your throat has been affected. If you can eat and drink Ok then it does not sound as though something is stuck, especially as you say it didn't start after food.

I have the exact samething but I can't eat and when I do I usually throw up

Getting stuck sucks. I cannot recommend my method, but when I'm stuck and I know it isn't going away I chug water until I puke and get unstuck. There is a nasty sinus infection going around. Is it your trachea or esophagus where u feel the lump?

I had this feeling (what it sounds like) for a while after surgery. Called my doc and he said since everything was going down fine, it was most likely gas trapped in the band. I had it mostly at night, took a lot of gas-ex and ate lots of tums and maalox. Haven't had it for a while now, but I remember it sucked. Since everything seems to be going down and you aren't having probs eating, that's probably what it is. Don't worry, it will go away. Make yourself burp a lot! Have someone pat your back to burp you. Sounds dumb, but it really helps!

He pain/ stuck feeling can be many things. If it isn't assoicated with eating, its possible that it would be an early warning sign of a heart attack, I saw it on Dr Oz. I love his show. I would try taking medicine to get rid of gas and move you body around to try to loosen up the gas. If that doesn't work I would call you Dr.

I had a similar issue last week and my doctor removed some Fluid. It has gone away since he has done that. I was to tight.

I had this issure and found out that I was stuck. I could not drink, and when I

woke there was a bad tasted in my throat. I went to the doctor and they took out

my fill and I could feel my band pop! I now have to heal my esophagus. It is

inflamed and torturous. They did a fluro scopy.

I feel this now too and searched the topic. It didn't start after eating buit I have a cold so maybe that's it. Did your feeling ever go away?

Mostly its gone. I really have to watch what I eat and not eat too much. I have had all my fill removed now for a month.

I go back in for a fluro on friday the 16th to see how everything is doing. I sure I was stuck!
