My heartburn was awful eventually too. I believe I diagnosed it "silent reflux" thanks to Dr. Google.</p> <p>I am so sorry you're going through this, it is super uncomfortable. I don't have any tips, unfortunately.</p> <p>I was starting to get baby fever (DD is 17 months), but this post has reined me in a bit :silly: to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581275 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:03:32 +0000 MaryM 2581275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: yeah. Probably 10 years ago. I had a lot of issues (everything but ulcers - hiatal hernia, gall bladder issues, gerd, gastritis) </p> <p>I was feeling a lot better since I went GF (there's celiac in my family). Until I got pregnant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581263 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 17:10:40 +0000 Paddington10 2581263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM, oh no! I hope that isn't what is happening to me. Have you ever had an endoscopy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581228 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 15:36:58 +0000 SweetiePie 2581228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesssss. It felt like I always had to burp but couldn't get it out. It was in my throat constantly. It finally went away in the 2nd tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581214 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 15:11:51 +0000 MaryM 2581214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: I used to take prevacid, but I think I took it for so long it stopped working for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581205 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 14:59:52 +0000 Paddington10 2581205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM, I take rx dose of Prevacid -- never tried Zantac, but if my symptoms don't abate after the baby is born I will try it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581169 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 14:13:28 +0000 MaryM 2581169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: Have you tried maximum strength Zantac? I haven't been on a prescription in years since I found that worked for me. </p> <p>I'm hoping I can go off meds again once I have the baby. I'm on a lot of hormones because of RPL, so I have a feeling they're making symptoms worse. Maybe even once I wean off those it'll improve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581154 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:50:29 +0000 Paddington10 2581154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am happy to unite with fellow GERD sufferers here but have sympathy for everyone going through it! It's awful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581140 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:31:56 +0000 travellingbee 2581140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had this often on when I'm pregnant and not. It seems to be GERD related </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581138 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:28:15 +0000 Paddington10 2581138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KayKay -- lucky Tums works for you! It helps me but I still need an RX dose of GERD medicine as well. Did yours go away after having the baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581130 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:22:22 +0000 KayKay 2581130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this with DD2 and Tums usually took care of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581088 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 12:25:25 +0000 edelweiss 2581088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine was due to reflux. i took zantac with breakfast most days. the lump was really bothersome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2581010 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 10:50:16 +0000 MrsA 2581010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I know what you're talking about but mine seems more associated with nausea. Like its hard to actually get any food down because it feels like it's getting stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2580965 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:48:58 +0000 MaryM 2580965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it also, but usually accompanied by painful reflux. But sometimes it just feels like it's impossible to swallow. </p> <p>I was off all meds pre-pregnancy after giving up gluten, but I'm back on Zantac daily now. I can't even go 24 hours without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2580943 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:18:44 +0000 Truth Bombs 2580943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I had it with both my babies. It's really awful reflux 😕</p> <p>ETA: Mine was so bad it made my ears hurt too. I kept thinking I had an ear infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2580941 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:14:11 +0000 chibee 2580941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this same sensation early pregnancy for weeks and it was so hard to describe this feeling to other people! I'm not sure how far along you are but I don't remember feeling this way past like 17 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lump-in-throat-sensation#post-2580936 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:02:31 +0000 Paddington10 2580936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have this? Over the past few days, I've felt like there's a lump in my throat and felt super-aware of food sliding down (I have GERD which probably doesn't help). I read that it can be caused by hormones loosening up the esophagus during pregnancy. My husband thinks I am nuts. Best way I can describe it is a lump feeling, or a feeling of food stuck there. Anyone anyone? </p>
