Symptoms, conditions and causes
Why do I have a feeling of the lump in the throat?
You may have a sensation that something is in your throat when there is nothing in there. This means there is something wrong in your inner throat muscles or the valves in it.
Symptoms:
Spasms in the throat
Can’t breathe
Sensation of a lump in the throat
Cause #1: Hypocalcemia (calcium deficiency)
Calcium is very important in preventing throat spasms as well as general spasms in the body. If you lack calcium, as well as VItamin D and K2 (which support absorption and utilization of free calcium in your body) this can result in throat “lumps.”
Remedies:
Take calcium lactate
Take calcium orotate
Avoid calcium carbonate
Take vitamins D and K2
Cause #2: Low stomach acidity
If you have low stomach acidity, this can result in acid reflux, which means the valve that keeps the acid in your stomach isn’t strong enough and the stomach will push the acid to your throat. This can cause throat spasms and the feeling of a lump in your throat. Additionally if your stomach acidity is not enough, you will not be able to absorb the calcium that is in your diet.
Remedies:
Take apple cider vinegar (1 to 2 teaspoons stirred into about a cup of water)
Take betaine hydrochloride
Cause #3: Stress
Stress over a long period of time can result in the depletion of calcium in the body. The nerves in your throat can get irritated as a result. All you need to know is that if your nervous system is worn out due to a lot of stress, it can result in throat spasms and a feeling like there’s a lump in there.
Remedies:
On an immediate basis--try to slow down your breathing
Take vitamin B1:
• nutritional yeast • benfotiamine
Get quality sleep (take naps if needed)
Take long walks outside daily
Avoid things/people that stress you out
