Knot In Throat With Burping??? Whats Causing This??
Posted: 08-04-05 19:57pm

I am a 28 year old healthy female. I never burp. I cant even make myself burp, but about 2 weeks ago I started burping for no reason. They are small burps but as the days go by, they are increasing in frequency. Also, the burp has a bad taste.

Then last week I started to get a feeling of having something stuck in my throat. It feels like a knot at the location where my neck meets my chest bone. As the last few days have passed, the 'knot' feels like it's growing. It’s starting to bother me when I eat and drink. The burping is also getting worse.

I am curious if anyone has any ideas about these symptoms? It is starting to be a constant ‘thing’ in my life. Today has been the worst. It’s starting to be a little painful to swallow.

I have only had heartburn one time, that was when I was pregnate. (5 years ago) I never get it. I am going to have to go see a doctor. It still hurts today!

I have the same thing. I have gone to the Dr. And had every test you can imagine on my gastro system and all I have for it is a great big bill. I have always thought it was somethng to do with my throat not my stomach but the Dr. Insist it is my stomach. I am still suffering so if you have gotten any answers please let me know. Please feel free to email me at g randma_ellie_00@yahoo.Com.

My husband has this problem. A couple weeks ago they did a scope into his throat and found nothing. But did the "ballooning" . Helped some but think he will have to have it done again with a larger balloon. After he had this done, several people said they had it done or had heard of it. Can't say it helped much yet. Also his has sinus drainage which could be causing the knot. He started gargling with salt water today. Hope it helps him and maybe you.

Hi...Im having the same problem here. Ironically My Dr hasnt mentioned anything about stomach....I believe mine is my Thyroid. hence hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. this is very common in women I cant remember the specific age range...but something like 20-35.....you can read more about this online.
but...when a womans thyroid is not functioning properly...all kinds of whackiness happens....so maybe check that out. I am tomorrow...this is driving me insane!!! and its getting worse.
