What causes a lump in the throat and bubbles in the chest?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I just had an endoscopy and colonoscopy for stomach issues and have a feeling of a lump in my throat when I lay down and breath normally and if I take a deep breath, I have bubbles in my chest. They ruled out acid reflux, GERD, and everything else and said I am perfectly healthy. But I want to see a pulmonologist. I have smoked for years, but I want to know what this could be. I had x-rays done about three months ago, and they did not see a mass in my lungs and said I sounded healthy, so I am wondering what this could be.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query thoroughly and understand your concern.
Since you were a smoker, I suggest you have a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis because bronchitis can cause similar symptoms. Please let me know if you have a dry cough or breathlessness. I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
