Starting to worry now

Have suffered with lpr since 2008. I use to post on here many years ago but forgot my username. I have taken nexium equivalent since 08

Anyway onto today....Have been under a huge amount of pressure and stress for the past 6 months...basically my mother who is deaf lost her husband. Since that time she has basically expected me to replace him...I.e take me here, do this do that ring here ring there....it's finally worn me down and I snapped yesterday.

Other the past six to eight weeks my reflux has been horrific, I have a pain most times I swallow below my Adam's apple and have a raw feeling that never goes away, I have suffered with globus sensation previously and it feels totally different to this, also feels like a lump is developing to the right of my Adam's apple.

This is what I'm most scared off, I'm only 37, married and am a few months away from becoming a 1st time dad...

Have a GP appointment at the middle of October but will look to have this earlier.

Hi Matt, I had same situation last month. Suddenly a lump on my throat and have a hard time talking. Very raw throat and lump was huge. I did try breathing exercise and a lot of prayers. Did my strict diet (the forum moderator have a lot of diet info). I choose which ones I can eat as some of them irritates my throat. First the left side went away then the right side after 2 weeks.

Stress can cause a lot on your body. Some site I read that crying with tears helped the lump to go away.
So don't stress yourself. Try to watch happy shows and focus on happy things in life. Though it may be tough right now but you will get better. Good that you are going to your GP. Keep us posted.
God bless.

Matt,
I'm sorry about all the stress you're under. It sounds like you're a good son helping his mother through a terrible time. I'm much older than you are but both my parents, now long gone, we're deaf and so I know first-hand how it is being called upon to make phone calls, drive to appointments, interpret etc and generally be the connection between beloved parent and the world. It's can be very, very difficult and once in a while the pressure mounts and fatigue gets the best of you, you can blow up. I hope your mother realizes this and can put it into context with all the things you do for her. As vulnerable as she is right now, so are you! Are there resources you can find to help her? There was a Deaf Club and a few social and church groups my parents were able to find that provided them with social contacts that helped them connect while relieving me of some of the burden. It isn't easy but the help they provided was invaluable.
Yes, try to see your doctor as soon as you can and take whatever help s/he can provide you. And forgive yourself for losing your cool. You can only do so much and it sounds like you've been carrying a very heavy load for too long. You sound like a wonderful person and a caring one. You have to take are of yourself.
