Feeling of a lump in your throat – common symptom of hiatal hernia
A feeling of a lump in the throat is perhaps the most unpleasant of several symptoms of hiatal hernia. But there is effective treatment, read more about it here.
Get yourself examined
If you Google “a feeling of a lump in the throat”, you’ll find many different conditions. Although these are less common causes, it is important to get examined to be able to rule out serious illness.
But the most common cause is a hiatal hernia, and you can start treatment with IQoro while waiting for examination. Your symptoms will the hopefully decrease. (More about IQoro below.)
Most common cause: Hiatal hernia
The most common cause of a feeling of a lump in the throat is a hiatus hernia.
A hiatal hernia means that a muscle – the diaphragm, a thin muscle that sits as a partition in the upper body – is weakened.
1. The stomach slides up
When the diaphragm is weakened, the stomach can slide up above the diaphragm. When it does, the oesophagus is pressed upwards.
The oesophagus is a bit like an accordion that can be compressed. And when compressed, the swallowing function no longer works normally.
2. The upper oesophageal sphincter gets in trouble
At the opening to the oesophagus is the upper oesophageal sphincter – a muscle that needs to relax to release the food into the oesophagus.
When the oesophagus is compressed the upper oesophageal sphincter cannot relax and open the entrance to the oesophagus sufficiently. This is what gives you the feeling of a lump or a cramping sensation in your throat.
3. Food can get stuck when swallowing
The fact that the upper oesophageal sphincter does not work optimally also means that food can easily get stuck in the pharynx. Liquid foods such as water, yogurt or soup, on the other hand, rarely cause problems.
What can you do?
When a hiatal hernia is the cause behind your feeling of a lump in your throat, training the diaphragm is the only effective way for you to treat the problem.
The most effective way to train the diaphragm is with IQoro.
Like new again! It is unbelievably great not having the fear of not being able to swallow properly.
