Gastroscopy result
Posted , 4 users are following.
I was told that I had no acid reflux after my gastroscopy, just minimal gastritis, but I still get the feeling of a "lump" in my throat, making me want to clear it and then it is just the same again, so I feel I have times when I am constantly clearing my throat, but there is nothing there to cough up. Does anyone else have this problem?

If there was anything seriously wrong they'd have found it during the gastroscopy. The best thing to do is to bear in mind that it's not a serious health problem, which will make it easier to live with. Once you start accepting it and not concentrating on it too much, you'll find it gradually disappears.
What I do when I get recurrences of this problem (like in the past couple of weeks when I've had a lot to cope with) is put off clearing my throat as long as I possibly can before giving into it. If I'm firm with myself about this, I find the problem gradually goes away - well, for the time being anyway! I started having this as a child or a young teenager and it peaked in my 20s. I'm in my 70s now, and while it's never completely gone away, it's improved out of all recognition over the last 50 years. And it ain't got me yet!

I too have the feeling of a 'lump' in my throat and this a the moment is preventing me from eating solid foods! I have had a camera test and this was all clear, however, I have an appointment with my Gastro dr to go through my results properly tomorrow so I will see what is said and if there is anything else that can be done for it. I am currently on medication for acid reflux Lansoprazole 30mg daily. Are you on any medication for it and are you able to eat with it?
Thanks,
Amanda.
