I have had a lump in my throat since May 2014 and at first the GP told me it was a virus and prescribed penecillin. This did nothing. I then had a throat swab which showed nothing. I was sent to ENT and was told I have Sjorgens and gastric reflux and prescribed proton pump meds. These are also doing nothing. My throat feels like something stuck in it all the time and swallowing is getting more difficult. I find laying down in bed worse as it feels like my throat closing up and I get panic attacks because of it. Saw GP on Monday and requested scan on my throat as I believe it could be my thyroid (I also have symptoms and weight gain) but he seemed uninterested and said carry on with the meds as it is gastric reflux causing throat problem! Feel like Im banging my head on the wall. Sorry dont have an answer. Gentle hugs Joolz.x

Hi broadband

I am so sorry to read that you are experiencing this issue and I genuinely hope that you can find the answers that you are looking for. I have a similar issue and I suffer with a reflux disorder. I want to wish you all the best of luck with your GP for your appointment.

All my hopes and dreams for you
