Head ears congested lump in throat feelin?
I had the same symptoms and saw an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist). Believe it or not, he diagnosed me with LPR - It's another form of acid reflux called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. This type of reflux goes beyond your lower esphagus and affects your throat, voicebox, and can even affect your airways (nasal passages and eustacian tubes in ears) if they're narrow like mine. I've never even experienced the classic "heartburn" with my reflux, rather, have clogged ears, chronic nagging type cough and constantly clearing my throat - it feels like a lump in there. Bottom line, my doc put me on Nexium and I watch what I eat and feel great. Have a bad day here and there, but it's usually if I've eaten a trigger food. Good luck!!
