GERD & Heartburn Support Group
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. If you are afflicted with GERD or heartburn, join the group and find support.

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.
