Honestly I haven't seen a difference yet. I have been on it 5 days though.

Yeah it takes weeks. Do you ever keep swallowing then it feels like you can’t?

All the time! Like my throat just won't do it. Happened to me at my hair salon once.

It’s awful! When I eat sometimes I’m adored of choking. I feel like I’m in a rut of anxiety
I know the feeling. I experienced that when my stress/anxiety was overwhelming. It does get better.

I'm so sorry. I do the same and could do liquids good till last week. Now I am scared of even drinking water.
Hi everyone. I’ve gone through the same thing and continue to go through it ... I also think it’s an allergic reaction sometimes and freak out and take Benedryl.
do any of you find yourself burping a lot when this comes on? And then you get immediate relief when you burp but then the throat closing over feeling happens right after? I found a description by someone else on another message board and his theory seemed to make sense for what is actually going on. Since I’ve read it, I’ve found I am calmer when the sensation comes on and then it doesn’t last as long. I will find it and copy paste.
I don’t know what message board this is from and unfortunately I don’t have his user name. So this is a straight copy/paste and apologies for not having the source. I’m sure this person wouldn’t mind if it’s helping others.

Hello, I registered just to answer your question. As I would feel bad not telling you what I have discovered, as I too suffer from a similar issue. It started two years ago out of nowhere. I went to a concert and the next day I had acid reflux that was not going away. Eventually that went away and it instead left me with constant bleching. I also have this weird lump sensation in my throat that I want to keep trying to get rid of but always comes back. This is because we have air somehow filling in some sort of gap near the base of your neck. This pressure or air actually fills your whole esophagus. How do I know? Its simple, when you lie down flat on your chest you will notice that you can breathe better. When you burp a big burp you notice a slight second of relief. If you even push down really hard on the base of your neck or other parts you can hear the air escaping like popping air bubbles. WE are not insane, I have seen people from various forums comment about these issues since 2006. It is just impossible to detect. Because it is air, none of these xray machines and cameras can see where this air is trapped. That is why everyone tells you you are okay. Unfortunately air is transparent. My guess is that some sort of sphincter that seperates the stomach from the throat does not close properly and leaks air through into the throat. It could be a tiny gap not seen by a camera which would make your body not air tight. I know this sounds bad, but theres nothing any of us can do. I developed it at 22. I guess I have to live with this until I die. It could be worse though I guess.. Sorry for the bad news, those pills they give you for acid reflux only help if you are experiencing signs of reflux.
