Lump in bottom of Throat....?!


Question:

Lump in bottom of Throat....?

Every once in a while, i develop this large lump feeling in the bottom of my throat. Usually lasts a few days. The best way i can accurately describe it is that it feels like there is a golf ball stuck in my throat. If i apply pressure just under my adams apple it hurts also. Seems to come around a couple of days after i have thrown up. Any advice is appreciated, as this condition is incredibly uncomfortable and annoying.


Answers:

There is a small muscle in that area that can get inflamed. Usually it is caused by stress, people swallow more frequently when they are stressed and it affects this muscle. If it is happening after you have been sick it is probably irritated from that. Try taking an anti-inflammatory med and see if this helps.
