Yes it sounds like heart burn, Stress gave me tremendous heart burn so now I take a stomach liner. Give it a couple of weeks to settle and if it doesn't see your doctor for a check up and a remedy.

I'm not sure if anxiety is the cause but it sounds like acid reflux. You can get zantac at Walmart or see a primary care doctor for prescription strength medication. 40mg Prilosec works wonders for me. If you're waking up with it and going to bed with it, chances are it won't go away on it's own, you will need medication to relieve your symptoms. Best of luck.

Gentle empathy, Teresa. This very question comes up more often than I like in my own life. Yucko plus. . .

I believe my own heartburn and anxiety are separate phenom, but they are such close running buddies that when I get one, I expect the other to be along shortly. It doesn't always happen, but often enough to get me expecting. Ditto for when I manage to get rid of the damaging duo. When I remedy one of them, the other typically follows. Alas, I haven't found a simple solution for either of them. I treat ^it^ like a question of balance. Balance junk food with detox food. Balance stressful activity with restful activity. Etcetera, etceteri through the yaddahs of the day.

Gentle support while you find what works for you, Teresa.

Pepcid worked the best for me. At one point I was so stressed out and my GERD acted up so bad that I went to the ER 2x and they couldnt do much because it was my acid reflux. I felt like something HAD to be wrong. But the second time I went back - I finally believed the dr when he told me I was going to be ok. It was just very uncomfortable for the moment.

Try and calm down. Heartburn and acid reflux will go away. Try and watch what you eat to see what foods might trigger it.

Feeling like something is stuck in you throat because of acid reflux is quite normal actually.When I first starting getting it, my doctor sent me to ER saying it was not normal and I need to go to the hospital ASAP because something must be stuck in my throat and they need to remove it, Once I did the doctor at the ER was like that is ridiculous and it is a very common symptom, ALKALINE WATER, and Probiotics, and tums or Zantac at times,DGL LICORICE is a real life saver. Try it

I have had the same thing but I was diagnosed with gastritis and GERD. When it first happened was because I was taking abc powders and Aleive for my toothaches. I went to the hospital and they gave me ibuprofen which basically burned my stomach lining which then brought along GERD and I had that same feeling like there’s something stuck in my throat. I’m sure you don’t have the same thing but GERD is a acid reflux that goes into your esophagus and cause it to tighten up or have a feeling like there’s like a pill or something stuck there. I have been taking Omeprazole which is like Zantac. It has taken that feeling away but still have other problems wrong with me I need to get checked
