Lump in my throat?

[Ozone]

For a couple of weeks now I've started getting this weird sensation in my throat after sometimes after singing. It feels kinda like I have thick mucus or something else stuck at the "root of my tongue" (or whatever it's called). At first I though it was just a flu but after it didn't go away in a week I made an appointment the see a ENT to make sure I don't have nodes or anything like that. The doctor didn't find anything and in his words my vocal folds looked "100 % healthy". He did point out that I might have acid reflux and gave me some advice on that. Anyway, what ever it was it when away after a week or so.... But now I think it's coming back. Whenever I vocalize I feel the same lump in my throat! I'm beginning to think that I might get acid reflux during the night, even thought I don't feel anything "wrong" in the morning. What should do now? I know most of you guys aren't doctors but has anybody have any personal experience with acid reflux and how to deal with it?

I had it in the past. Elevating my head while sleeping was the key. I didnt feel a lump though. Just irritating heartburn.

Good luck and hope this helps.

It may be technical problems causing strain. Check for the reflux with the doctor and then trainning. Ive had reflux and the most notable symptom is swollen folds in the morning for longer periods of time, like 1 or 2 hours, warm ups took me longer and my voice did not feel "fresh".

Just tried sleeping a night with my head elevated and the difference was huge! Singing feel good for the first time in a week! Thanks a lot guys!

:) It worked wonders for me as well. Keep it up for a while, and it will disappear.

Goood luck!
