Sensitive Throat
Question:
Has the Dr. ever mentioned you having GERD? Reflux aggravates asthma and begins ofter with the burning throat I have no burning. I have no reflux. This does not burn — it is very specifically like a sliver of glass which, I know, sounds crazy when I tell people that. I visualize a little sliver of very sharp glass wafting down into my lungs and lodging there.
Both of them sound about right but I have GERD and I know that my Flovent aggravates my asthma and my asthma aggravates my GERD. What luck! Rather deal with the GERD then the asthma anyday.
Response:
Yes I have had the sensation of a sliver of glass in my bronchial area. I have this sensation when my throat is overly dry and that dryness leads to my coughing. It feels as if the dryness has gone beyond my throat area and into the bronchial area. It disappears instantly when I cough fluid up from deeper in my lungs. Why aren’t doctors more concerned with the health of an asthmatic throat. esaphagus (sp?), the other flaps and tubes connected to the throat and lung area? Mine are so sensitive it makes life very difficult for me. (take medicine, eat certain foods, and to just breath) Most of my reactions to irritants starts in the throat area and that flares up my lungs. Sanday

I have heard that gargling with and then drinking a small amount of milk helps particularly after taking Becotide (beclomethasone), by neutralising its local effect on the throat. I’ve tried it and it does help.

Peace to all I was wondering if someone could explain why the back of the throat area is so sensitive with asthma? Mine has become worse over the years. It makes using inhalers unpleasant, eating foods with small particles difficult (like nuts or popcorn) and almost impossible to keep from becoming overly dry. I was also wondering what causes my throat to react so aggressively to chocolate and cool/cold products like ice cream or frozen yogurt? Thanking you in advance Sanday

I was also wondering what causes my throat to react so aggressively to chocolate and cool/cold products like ice cream or frozen yogurt? I cannot offer any advice on this, but I have my own, seemingly unique story on this. This happens when I am in the "recovery" phase of my cough-variant asthma — in other words, when the worst has passed, but I am definitely not "all better." Sometimes I get a sensation in my bronchial tubes — it is farther down than the throat, but not what I would call in the lungs. Anyway, the best I can describe this sensation is like a little sliver of glass has floated down my throat and lodged in my bronchial tubes — it feels like a sliver of glass that has lodged in your finger, or foot, etc.. It is sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, and is fairly painful. I have never been able to correlate it with any other conditions — activities, places, odors or pollutants in the air, dust, inside air, outside air, etc. Luckily, it is short-lived. If my condition is still bad enough, it will trigger coughing. For a long time, I never mentioned this to my doctor or nurse, because it does not happen regularly, and I felt that it was too weird and they would think I was nuts. Every doctor and nurse I have mentioned it to tell me that they have never heard of anything like that. Of course, it could be that it is happening to lots of other people, but they (like I) don’t want to mention it to the doctor. It has happened so many times, now, that I’m sure it must be real. Anyone else ever have this sort of experience?

just read your post;; was going to ok.city today but when I got up and was in the shower, I experienced the same pain you talked about, only I foiund it very painful if I turned to the side or bent my head up or down too quick, needless to say the pain was so bad I was afraid of hemmorage and stayed home and took coughsyrup(hisstussin hcl) and stayed quiet most of the day, tonight it may be a little better since I tried not to talk either. My arteries pound at the slightest increase in coughing and I think the pain must come from there as the tonsils are to high up. and they are not red nor inflammed, I am with you on how to
