Sure sounRAB like acid reflux! I thought it only meant burning down by my heart and sternum but not so. It can be up in your throat. I developed this a few months ago and I thought I was getting asthma. My throat felt thick and swollen inside. Like I might choke. It was acid reflux. Once I took Prilosec it took that away. Now when it comes on I now exactly what it is. I don't panic. I just get on my Prilosec, watch my diet or take some of my natural products. See if you can be checked out by your doctor and then get going on some of these things to help. You will be ok!:angel:
