Hi, Im 51 years old was diagnosed with small hiatal hernia 4 years ago. Recently I started getting a cold or an allegy and began with head cold, runny nose (alot of nose blowing) About a day or two into the head cold, I noticed my stomach began to hurt--I have anxiety so this was not uncommon. However when I would drink a sip of coffee or tea I felt a lump in throat--sort of felt like a big burp that would not burst. and then it went away. Until the next time I took a sip of coffee--and after i sipped it and it went down then I felt the lump again. Also after I blew my nose I also noticed this lump. Then I started getting really bad heartburn as well. I do not feel the lump any other time--it goes away after the first sip of coffee, weird..Has anyone had this. I made appt with dr. But my anxiety is kicking in and making me feel worse. I keep thinking its cancer or a strangulated hernia. I do not have pain, but I have a stomach ache and am tired. I still have stuffy nose and
cough, also chest congestion--no fever/. Please help
