Quit Smoking And Now Feel Like A Lump Is In My Throat?
July 19th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
I quit smoking 2 weeks ago today and for the last 5 days I have had this feeling of a lump in my throat. My throat also feels very dry and irritated. Has anyone else had this side effect? I went to my GP today and he wasnt sure if the quitting was the cause but gave me samples of a med for acid reflux. I don’t know what to think.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. Your doctor is probably correct. I suggest that you also chew gum and stay away from spicy food and acidic drinks for a week. See how this works along with your medicine. Good luck!

Switch GP’s……
Your GP should have known that cigarette smoking masks some soar throats amongst other things…. So when a person quits smoking they end up with a soar thoat… sometime even more colds…
the smoking only masked these sympthoms……
Acid reflux is associated with heartburn not soar throats… seriously… get a second opinion.
