HAs anyone else experienced this in WD?

[RevAmy]

In wd presently from oxycontin. Lump sensation in throat trying to swallow. (there is no blockage) I believe this is an anxiety issue.Has anyone been thru this and any advice? trying to stay calm...

Glad it is gone today.  How are you feeling otherwise?

My mom had a similar sensation, but she wasn't in wd's. She had a bunch of tests and it turned out to be acid. She was told to take Prilosec and it was the only thing that helped. Dr said she wasn't elevating her head enough at night and the acid was bothering her throat and causing that feeling during the day. Might not be the same thing, but it couldn't hurt to try.

I am on that already :) but thanks for comment. I have GERD, so been on a long time...

Is that "lump" feeling better today?

[RevAmy]

yes, at 3 am I was able to go to bed...woke up a few times (on ambien) and fraked out a bit, then back to sleep. Gone today.

Mine would come and go for a couple days.  It felt like a lump or everything was sitting right there in my throat.  I chewed a few tums too and that seemed to help.

Oh i remember this and it does go away.  I found that eating soft foods such as pudding helped as it just slid down.  This doesnt last very long so hang tight.  Take some deep breaths~
