Hello eveyone. I’m new to this forum but I’ve been struggling with this off sensation of a tight throat. I went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with GERD and esophagitis, but I’m struggling to understand if my throat tightness is physical or mental. I tend to over think and worry a lot about these things. I’ve had this throat tightness feeling for about 6 months now and it won’t go away. I don’t know if it’s due to stress/anxiety or from the acid reflux. How can I fix this?

    Hi Jake

    I suffer with Acid Reflux/ GERD and have the same throat problem. Some days are not too bad but other days are awful. I have had every test available and all are clear apart from proving I have acid reflux. I manage most of the time to control this with ppi's and avoiding trigger foods/drinks. But stress and anxiety are the worse culprits and they do make me over think and look for the worse in this. Just try and avoid worrying too much and you should slowly begin to feel better.

    All the best to you 😇.
