do you ever get a dry throat and mouth and post nasal drip too? sounds kinda like me. my ent finally numbed my throat (which wasn't fun) and looked down it to make me feel better that nothing was actually in my throat. call it globus hystericus. but now due to allergies, I have this post nasal drip that is making me crazy. I take meds and it gets too dry and then more anxiety over this.
my pcp has me on prevacid for gerd which I take sometimes and sometimes I stop for periods because i'm not convinced. it's so frustrating that nobody can tell me for sure. i'm about ready to have an endoscopy just to see if I really have this gerd. it's so invasive but he said the barium swallow doesn't tell them much. ugh
my grandmother died a week ago and i'm wondering if this is related to stress and anxiety from this also. started about the same time. I actually had an episode right before she died where I felt like my throat was closing and it was very scary. hasn't happened since but been focused on throat since. ughhhh
so, i'm not sure - seems doctors just like to give you drugs without truly trying to determine what is causing the issues.
