Q: Do I have acid reflux or throat cancer?
I have acid reflux. Last 2 weeks I started having pain when I swallow and It did not go away.
How can I understand if it is because of my acid reflux or a symptom of
throat cancer. I am 26 years old female and I do not smoke.

A: I think youre worrying without reason here.
The most likely cause is ‘a bad throat’. Just plain old simple pain – like a virus or something.
Are you recovering from a flu?

It could be acid reflux. Have you vomited a lot recently? The acid from your stomach
can slightly erode your throat.

If youre really worried, go to your doctor. They will be able to put your mind at ease, and give you
something to help with the pain.

Good luck xx

Q: I’m having these symptoms, tightness of the throat, acid reflux (BAD), excessive phelgm, burping from?
drinking any type of drink carbonated or not. What is wrong with me, can i fix this?

A: Try eating some alkali foods and drinks, such as milk, this should help if it is just acid reflux

Q: What are the symptoms of acid reflux and How can you tell if you have it?
Lately my throat has felt like its burning and acid-y. It also feels like I have to burp after I eat. Are these symptoms of acid reflux?

A: Patients with acid reflux often report suffering from nausea. In fact, nausea as a result of acid reflux is so common that when a patient experiences nausea with no apparent cause, a doctor usually suspects acid reflux as the culprit.

Equally as common as nausea occurring from acid reflux is regurgitation. Regurgitation occurs when refluxed liquid actually backs up into the mouth. Sometimes, this liquid can contain food. When a patient regurgitates, they often experience a burning sensation as refluxed liquid and food bypass the UES (upper esophageal sphincter) and make their way into the mouth. This burning is often accompanied by an awful, acidic taste. If a patient continues to experience regurgitation, it can actually cause damage to their teeth as the acidic substance erodes the enamel that encases each tooth.

Probably the most common reported complaint of acid reflux patients is the presence of heartburn. This is usually characterized as a searing pain in the chest. It can either begin in your upper abdomen or actually travel up to your neck. For some patients, this can be a cause for alarm. In fact, many people have mistaken painful acid reflux for a heart attack. Heartburn is especially prevalent after eating meals. Although heartburn usually goes away, the bad news is that it is usually a lifelong problem that will eventually return.

Hope this helps…

Q: What are acid reflux symptoms?
I have been experiencing chest pains on and off after drink or eating curtain foods and beverages I also get a burn sore throat filling in my throat. I feel boated and light head and sometimes dizzy. Could this be acid reflux?

A: Some of the symptoms of Acid Reflux are heartburn, chest pain, difficulty in swallowing and regurgitation (bringing food back up into the mouth).

It can last several months or longer if not treated. Drug treatment is often only needed for a short time although it may have to be repeated since some symptoms may re-occur.

I would say make a doctor appointment just to be safe.

Q: throat acid reflux and throat cancer?
when you feel a lump or something unusual in your throat and you think it might be cancer, is there a higher chance it is acid reflux?

all i know about acid reflux is when the stomach acids reach your throat and or larynx, but what im asking is if this causes a feeling of something in your throat with no other early symptoms.

also do a lot of people who have long term feelings of something in their throat and think it is cancer, become diagnosed with acid reflux?

additionally how serious is acid reflux?

A: My dad had throat cancer and the way he knew it was he had a sore at the back of his throat that just wouldn’t go away.Acid reflux cam make you feel like you have something in your throat because I have that problem sometimes.But, if it is a constant thing, see a doctor to get treatment so it doesn’t damage your esophagus.

Q: Can someone tell me what is the symptoms for acid reflux ?
My sister is having a constant pain in her ears and her throat is swollen she sometimes burst into a dry cough . Her doctor said it is acid reflux he put her on antibiotics , she took it for two weeks she has seen very little results .

A: The symptoms of acid reflux are primarily heartburn, regurgitation, and nausea
The main symptoms are persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest, hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. You may feel like you have food stuck in your throat or like you are choking or your throat is tight. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath.

i have acid reflux too i am using the purple pill nexum

Q: Is it normal to feel like there is a lump in your throat if you have gastritis/acid reflux?
I feel like there is a lump in my throat I had this feeling since I was 13 and now Im 18. I told my doctor he said its acid reflux and thats why I have that feeling. I’m just wondering is this a normal symptom of acid reflux? does the feeling ever go away??

A: Hey

I have had acid reflux since I was very little and now I am a teenager. I usually get the feeling too but after a while it tends to go away for me. Hope that helps some.

Q: Acid Reflux?
So I think I had a case of Acid Reflux today; I felt like there was some sort of acid in the back of my throat, and now it feels like there’s something ‘caught’ in my throat, which I read were all symptoms of acid reflux. I’m a teenager, and this is my first time ever experiencing this. I’ve never had problems like this before, and I was just wondering if this kind of thing can happen randomly just once, or does it continue on forever?

Thanks!

A: It can be somthing that happens here and there if you have a minor case of it. It can also be a very persistant full Blown Disease if it is a severe case.

I am not a doctor, so either way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)!

Three part answer: information, what not to do, and what to do!

INFORMATION!!!!!!
I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case with hereditary), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, Stress, Anxiety or can be Hereditary

The good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.

G.E.R.D. is caused by too much acid being created in your stomach. This can lead to or cause ulcers, esophagus damage, heartburn and/or damage in the mouth. . Other symptoms that can be found in a few cases are dizziness, tingling in limbs, numbness of Limbs, Chest/Back pain focused on the left side (in most cases), and shortness/difficulty breathing.

WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!
In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:

Fatty Foods
Citrus Foods
Oranges (Juice and fruit)
Lemon (Juice and fruit)
Foods That Contain Grease
Fried Foods
Potatoes (Starch)
Buffalo wings
Chocolate (including any Coco)
Caffeine
Smoking
Alcohol
Doughnuts
Brownies
Cake
Tomato Based Products
Lactose
Sour Cream
Cottage Cheese
High amounts of Carbohydrates
Roughage (Berries and Nuts)
Onions

WHAT TO DO!!!!
The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.
On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.
On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point.

I would also look to putting Cinnamon and Ginger in you diet, they have been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less.

Q: Is this GERD / acid reflux Symptoms?
Hello, i wonder if burping all the time and a warm full feeling in the back of your throat when burping could be acid reflux? I am pregnant and have had a sore throat for a while and excessive mucus in my throat, and contstant throat clearing. been to the docs and he says its Acid reflux but i dont get heartburn so i am confused

xx

A: My Dad has this condition and he never got heartburn at all. Worse; he had great difficulty in swallowing as the years went by, and could only do so after taking some sort of muscle relaxant. Listen to your doctor on this one :) Good luck…

Q: How long do acid reflux symptoms last?
Lately I had a mild case of acid reflux. After a few days I was put on some medicine (Rezhest and aciphex, apologies if I spelled one of the names wrong) and I am feeling better. My symptoms *were* chest pain, feeling like I need to vomit, and some other symptoms. Most of these symptoms went away except the very very mild chest pain which seems to come and go every now and then, and a very mild soar throat. How long will the soar throat and chest pain last? My doctor says about a few weeks for the throat, but I forgot to ask them about the chest pain.
Sorry forgot to add some stuff.
I am 16, and I only started having this chest pain when I got acid reflux, it’s only been about 3-4 days now with the mild chest pain.

A: Ryan – Acid reflux results when some of the very acidic stomach digestive juices move back up into the lower end of the esophagus and damage the surface of the esophagus. Some medicines can reduce the amount of acid the stomach secretes. At your age of 16, try taking smaller volumes of food at one time to reduce chances of back up of stomach contents. Avoid lying down after a meal to reduce back-up of stomach contents. In some people, the normal diaphragm muscle, which normally squeezes shut the top of the stomach, fails to contract, thus allowing backflow of acid juices. This is known as a hiatus hernia and may involve or require minor surgery with a couple of stitches to correct the hiatus hernia. This is uncommon at your young age but common in many older adults. Healing may take a couple of weeks after the reflux stops.

Q: what are the symptoms of acid reflux?
I think i have it cus i get a burning throat sometimes and my stomach feels weird and my chest hurts…are these symptoms of it?

A: quick internet search:

Q: acid reflux symptoms?
Hello, i have had a heavy feeling at the base of my throat and the top of my chest for about a week, constant burping even water ( and its always a wet burp ) sorry :) and a slight asthma feeling again in my throat that makes me want to cough but when i do i realise i dont need to ( if that makes sense), bad taste in mouth, excessive mucus in the back on my throat and constant swallowing. Doc says i have acid reflux but i havent had any heartburn. Please tell me this is normal :)

xxxx

A: I used to have normal acid reflux then I got pregnant. It changed during my pregnancy then it was different after I gave birth. I get it the same way you have it now. Unfortunately I haven’t found a good way to stop it. Milk and tums used to be the cure but it doesn’t help when it’s so high up in the chest. So yes it is normal! You should try going on something like prilosec to see if it helps. I just started taking it myself.

Q: I suffer from bad acid reflux. How should I sleep to help improve symptoms?
I’ve been to the doctor this past week after being very ill and was diagnosed with acid reflux. I have been losing sleep because I wake up with acid in my mouth and throat and I am so sick of it! My sleep is horrible and it is really affecting my daily tasks. I notice when I sleep on my right side I notice MORE fatigue than when I sleep on my left side. Is there a certain way to sleep?? Also, I’ve been taking Mylanta Ultimate Strength for my sour stomach .. been working so far any further suggestions?

A: If you were diagnosed with acid reflux, that doctor should have given you clear instructions on medication, sleep, and told you to call or make an appointment if those initial measures did not work. This is not just annoying, it can cause serious damage to your esophagus, even eventually to cancer. Lack of sleep puts you at other risks as well.

You may need prescription or other medication to control how much acid you make, not just Mylanta to neutralize it. You must discuss this with your doctor at once.

As for sleeping, one thing that may help immediately is elevating the head of your bed. Not propping it up with pillow, but actually raising the head end on blocks or bricks or books or special little plastic cups that you put under the legs at that end.

Also, avoid eating for several hours before reclining or lying down,

However, you really, really need to have another discussion with your doctor.

Q: What are some signs/symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease?
I have awful heartburn at random times during the day, prominent when I run or exercise. painful stinging in back of throat.

A: Usually for acid reflux your body makes alot of acid, and you may feel kinda sick in the morning from this buildup. If you feel stinging in the back of your throat it could be from the acid coming from your stomach, it happens when the muscle in your esophagus does not close all the way thus letting acid come up, especially if you are laying down which can become serious since it can burn your lining of your throat inside. It would be a good idea to see a doctor because if it is acid reflux he can give you some medications. Good luck
