Lump in my throat feeling

[tarabeara]

Has anyone experienced this? I've had this the past few months. Much of the time, when I swallow I feel as if I have a small lump in my throat. I searched on Google, and apparently stress can cause this. I'm just wondering whether this is common among people with TS and related disorders.

Hi Tara

 

I really would advise having a checkup with your doctor

 

It could be stress related, or some form of oesophageal/reflux condition, or something else related to your digestive system

or

you may possibly have had a loud vocal tic that maybe caused some swelling on a vocal cord

etc

 

 

something you should have your doc take a look at so that it can be treated if needed.

Yes, prior to the onset of what we now know are tics, my son wold complain at night mostly about a swallowing problem. It was so upsetting to him. When I looked down his throat after aout a week one side of it was swollen. This perplexed his dr. This went on for the usual 4 to 6 weeks before it disappeared. Looking back from what I know now, it was a tic. But I would have it checked anyway. Better safe...
