Throat pain - heartburn?

H-goody • Pregnant with my 1st. Due 30.8.15
The only way I can describe it is that my oesophagus feels the size of a golf ball yet a cricket ball is trying to pass down it... It bloody hurts and feels like a stretching pain. Sometimes I feel as if I have a lump in my throat. Do you think this could be heartburn??

I have been getting heartburn/indigestion every day. I read that the same muscle the helps you dialate also keep the esophageal sphincter tight and it will start loosening as you get further in your pregnancy.

Yup! It's called "globus sensation" where you feel like you have a ball of food stuck in your throat.  It's due to irritation caused by heartburn. And it sucks!

Acid reflux maybe? I've been struggling with it too! 😭 the baby pushes your stomach acid up..

I have the same pain and then sometimes almost like a headache in my throat, chest, and then accompanied by the traditional burning!
