Feel like there is something caught in my throat

Started last night. Felt like a pill or something was stuck in my throat. Sort of like a mild burning sensation. I kept sipping water but after about 10-15 minutes I would feel it again. Felt better this morning, had my protein shake and my B12 and multi. Just took my thyroid medication and Pepcid and am starting to feel that sensation again. I am 11 days PO. Anyone have the same issue?

Sue,

I had a massive tonsilloliths (tonsil stone) for about a week after surgery that took awhile to work its way out. I'm not sure if it was from intubation or that I was just very inactive for the first week so it didn't work its way out normally. I can't say that a burning sensation came with it more like a popcorn flake stuck in the back of my throat.

Hope you find the solution soon!

I'll have to mention it to my doc on Tuesday. I felt it again just before going to bed last night and a little while after waking up this morning, before I've even had anything to drink. Kinda weird!

Is it reflux? I swallowed a pill and then fell asleep before it went down. Woke up a few hours later with pain in my throat!

Pepcid did nothing for me - Prilosec helps me.

I think it is reflux. Met with my surgeon yesterday and he recommended prilosec and mylanta. Said it should calm down after a while.

I had that and was told its an irritated muscle that randomly spasms after being irritated. Could be irritated from food or pills going down or reflex, but it should be better by tomarrow

I had this problem too. It took me a while to realize that it was from my PPD. I backed off to a smaller dose and it went away. My doc said she had never heard of this before but I tried two more times with the higher dose and it caused the exact problem again both times so I am confident that's what it was.
