Dear doctor, I vomited for 7 times two weeks ago due to food poison. 5 days later, I started to feel a lump in my throat. The feeling of lump goes away in the morning and when I eat. However, the feeling gets stronger in the evening. It really bothers me during the night time. I was suspected that it was GERD, but I don t get any heartburn during the day. It s just my throat. Especially when I eat something with mint my throat and upper chest feel like burning. Sometimes the feeling of lump goes away and there s just a burning feeling on my throat. The feeling of lump increases when I move my head right or left. Can it be hiatal hernia? Thanks,
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have Castro esophageal reflux or hiatus hernia or some other pathology.  You should go for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and ultrasound study.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
