Acid reflux

Baffled, Started 3 weeks ago with a lump in my throat. No heartburn, No blectching. Have thryoid nodules but drs. are not concerned even though reports show possibilty of malignancy. Any way ENT said I have acid reflux sending me for a barrium swallow follow up with  a gastro dr. With this I have chest pain and middle back pain. Foods really donot bother me I watch what I eat.As the day goes by the feeling in my throat gets worse feels as though I have something stuck Has anyone experienced this before or any of the symptons of GERD

Hi....I must agree with LM that it could be the nodules on ur thyroid...however there r conditions related to gerd that u could also have these symptoms....silent reflux...there is no heart burn.

Listen to what ur dr has to say and make sure he is aware of all ur symptoms even if u think it could be related to the thyroid.

My ENT told me the thryoid nodules I have have nothing to do with the feeling of a lump in throat. My nodules did grow but not big enough for further testing I do have calcification on them But he still thinks it is acid reflux No meds are working going to a gastro dr in two weeks. Tonite is really bad feels like I have a sock in my throat but no heartburn. Thanks for your input

Its very common with gerd and thyroid. Its on the thyriod forum all the time. This can be a combo of swelled thyroid and gerd from low thyroid. My gerd comes back when my tsh is over 3. Lower tsh, gerd goes bye bye. The lump feel is so annoying!
