What Causes Feeling Of Lump In Throat, Tightness In Chest And Shortness Of Breath?

Hi. I have trouble swallowing from time to time and lump in throat. Now it went down to make me feel tightness in chest just below adams apple and shortness of breath. That feeling goes away for few hours every day. When I m able to cough clear sticky phlegm comes out and I feel some relief for short time. ENT doctor does not see anything in my throat just little redness and heavy post nasal drip.

Hi dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern .As per your query you are having lump in throat, tightness in chest and shortness of breath . The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to indigestion, hyperacidity, acid reflux and formation of intestinal gas. The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction like asthma. Nothing to worry, you should take Azithromycin and along with it take anti-inflammatory medicines like Aleve or Ibuprofen. Do steam inhalations 2 times a day with few drops of Eucalyptus oil in boiling water. Take decongestants like Pseudoephadrine and mucolytics like Bromohexine , do warm saline gargles , chew Vitamin C pellet daily and take ample of rest and drink plenty of water. You will get relieved in a week and if no improvemment consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated. Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist or allergy specialist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Dr. Harry Maheshwari
