Hi, does anyone have a lump feeling in their throat and tightness. With some pain in the ear? I do NOT have any stomach pains or burning and have NEVER had heartburn. I am so freaked out that it isn't Gerd that it is a tumor or soemthing worse =(
Thanks.

You can have a sensation like there is a lump in your throat with GERD. You can also get the same sensation with anxiety. Probably the more you think about it the worse you feel, at least that is the way it is for me. Hope you feel better. Doubt it is a tumor

I used to have that exact feeling before I started having daily heartburn. A few times it was to the point where I couldn't eat anything but popsicles. I doubt very much it's a tumour. GERD symptoms can be very different - not always is it heartburn.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
