sounds like anxiety attacks to me, i have them all of the time, i went to the doctors several times before finding out what was going on....wish you the best of luck..and congrats on quitting nicotine all together
With a laundry list of symptoms like you have, it seems kinda silly to be looking for answers here instead of a doctors office. Just sayin. Get to a doctor.

So ur saying it's possible I still have strep? I would t think so. I mean might as well test aga in swe if it has passes fully. And as far as that reply about the cotton / silica material in ecig that's very interesting theory. U can't actually bash down anything I said negetive about ecig because remember guys. It's a new gimic. We never gonna know till 10 20 years down the road
Hello!
I can tell you from experience that GERD will cause your throat to feel "burned" and can even cause blisters like strep throat too. Here's my experiences; I have IBS and three ulcers too. I first started vaping with PG and found that I'm highly allergic to it, in any amount. It triggers my IBS, ulcers and causes the GERD to flare up too. I went to Doctors, did 3 courses of antibiotics too. Doctors just kept looking in my throat...throwing pills at me and saying it was strep. Only after seeing an ENT did I connect the dots. She said severe GERD. After switching to a 100% VG juice...all of that stopped instantly. I can't even tolerate the small amount of PG in DIY e-juice flavorings...
Hope this helps!

She said I do but didn't under go any diagnosis. What wouled I have to do? Surgery to find out if I really have it
Unless you're running a pretty substantial fever, it's probably safe to say that it's not strep; every case of strep I've ever seen or experienced came with a high fever, up to 102 or even higher.

Hi!
Yes, but I can control it by avoiding certain foods. If I vape PG though...it activates the reflux regardless of what I eat...

I actually didn't have fever when I had it the hottest I've gotten was like 99.X and what food do u stay away from?
i have bad case of acid reflux. if i'm off nexium for more than few days, i'll get lump feeling in the back of the thread like there's something growing on it. from what the doc said is that irritation is so great from the acid, my throat is getting raw. you might want to see if your doc thinks that might be the case.
I'll see what happens when I go there in 2 days I'll keep u guys updated. The lump in throat feeling is getting better throat still has bumps on it same onice not smaller not bigger. Was the way u get diagnosed was they shove a tube down ur stomach for a day? ?
Hmm I actually have that same sensation my throat. It feels like there's something in there. Not in a choking way but kinda like when you have a nasal drip. It feels like theres a lot of mucous in my throat. Sometimes I have to constantly clear my throat or at least I feel like I have to. It's definitely super annoying. I was kinda just playing it off as oh I guess I have to clear my throat a lot now lol. I think I'm going to go to the doctor and have this checked out. I've been noticing my dad has been having the same problem.
Althought nobody was really interested in the last thread i opened about a month ago because it was "too long"
I'm going to shorten this right to the point. I'm not seeking medical advice. I am simply curious to see how many of us are out there(same issue as mine) and what did they do to overcome this.
quit cigs 2 months ago (Last cig that is [was slowly dropping cigs every week till i hit 0. basically from half a pack a day for 5 years]).
Got strep a week later put on antibiotics (NOTICED BUMPS IN THE BACK OF THROAT)
Week later felt way better and no more sickness (BUT BUMPS WERE STILL THERE)
went to another doctor about the bumps and she said i was just stressing, gave it time and in 2 weeks no improvement.
Went to an ENT and she said it could be LPR due to GERD.
So that was just the basic lets get to what i am wondering. I have managed to go almost two weeks without the vape so techinically yay for me for quitting NICOTINE
I am not a dr and I did not read the whole thread, just responding based on my personal thoughts. A few years ago I had a soar throat that caused me to lose my voice for the first time in my life. It was not strep, but I had spots on my throat. When my voice refused to return after a few weeks I went to an ENT. The spots were burns from Acid reflux. I have suffered from AR for a very long time but thought I had it under control after I gave up drinking Pepsi (and any soda), but I was wrong. I was still having episodes while I slept. I was put on a aggressive treatment for the AR, four omeprazole daily. It helped control it but the acid had eaten away part of my vocal chords and caused scales to form. I had surgery on this and the biopsy came back as laryngeal Dysplasia. This was before I vaped and because this was so scary to go through I tried to quit cold turkey. It didn't work for long even though the cancer threat was right in my face. Long story shorter.....I still have trouble at times with my throat. I saw you mentioned the Zantac so I thought of my story. I was using that and my ENT switched me to omeprazole. I get the something in my throat sensation as well as suddenly feeling like every drop of moisture is gone from my mouth and throat feeling. I try to remedy by sucking on a candy that is actually for cotton mouth. In fact I think it is called that. I rinse with biotene mouth wash, use biotene toothpaste and remain on daily omeprazole (one in am and one in pm). Speak with your doctor to see if it is related to acid reflux. Vaping sometimes makes my acid reflux worse but I think it is next to impossible to avoid it completely. Im sorry you are having a hard time. Good luck finding your answers
I had that a lot at first, when I was vaping around 70%-75% PG. Now that I try to stay in the 80%-85% range, it's not nearly as bad -- still just a little, but staying hydrated helps too.

DOct or a appointment tomorrow ! Hopefully things are better although I'm not sure at all. I feel like I don't have gerd tho I hope she doesnot prescribe me pointless pills
Well heres my update. I guess because I've been using saline nasal spray and stuff that my nose look way better that's what she said but my throat is still inflammed. She said the bump under my jaw is normal and it's due to the inflammation of the throat. She also said that I have to take zantac for another 2 3 months but to be honest I haven't really been feeling to many symptoms anymore my throat is still red and bumpy
