Lump in throat symptoms and conditions

I'm on my 6th day of Mirena. I just had sex for the first time since insertion. I noticed that the threads are curled up and behind my cervix, rather than to the side where they have been every day.

What I'm really writing about is; starting yesterday I've had this lump feeling in my throat. it makes me want to gag and I cannot make it go away. I had this when on Yasmin. I developed a severe allergy to Yasmin and my entire face swelled. But it started with the lump in throat feeling. I have also had ringing in the ears all day, I even have it now. I haven't had that in years.

Is anyone/has anyone experienced this side effect? You would definitely know if you have it. It feels like something is in my throat.

Sorry to post again, but NO ONE REPLIED TO MY POST!

I am 5 days post removal and need reassurance. Unlike everyone else, I have NOT felt better right away. I am just as tired (if not more), more irritable, and JUST GOT ACNE on my face and arms 2 days AFTER removal! I'm still dizzy and the brain fog is just as bad. Have not bled a drop at all.

I know everyone is different, but my removal experience has been completely different... don't feel better, no bleeding/clots, no immediate improvement. IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME??? Was it not the Mirena after all???

I'm exactly the same as everyone else here!
my side effects seem to be growing, but strangely only started to occur when i went off Yasmin.before taking this i was perfectly healthy.
so far my list is :
heart palpitations (which have actually slowed down a lot)
tightness/lump in throat
anxiety all the time
nightmares
lack of sleep
tingling legs and arms
being cold
pressure in head
tiredness
being more anxious at nighttime
sore left breast
fuzzy head feeling
blurry vision
a 'fluid' feeling in my ears
sharp pains in head and abdomen
chest pain
sharp pain in legs and hands
tingling down the right side of my body
faint pulse
problems concentrating
general ill feeling
hot flushes

i just WISH i had never taken this pill. only a week or so on it and look what has happened..
it shouldn't be on the shelves..

I am 20 years old and have been on Yasmin for PCOS/mood swings/irregular periods since I was about 16 or 17. This past December, I was out with friends when I suddenly had this awful, all-over terrible shaky feeling, thinking I was going to pass out, die, or vomit. I had pressure all over and my tongue felt thick in my mouth, lump in throat and had to go home immediately. I thought I was getting some kind of flu. Weird feelings kept continually happening to me every day since then and the symptoms change over time and last for different lengths. I've mostly experienced tightness/strain/pressure in my throat, lump of pressure caught there, almost numb pressure sensation under my tongue, jaw, and up into my ears, an ache/pressure in chest and sternum. I stopped taking Yasmin, switched to Aviane which made me nauseous constantly and have been off BC over a month now. I have been told it's anxiety constantly by two different doctors, gone to ER, had blood work, thyroid checked, ENT stuck scope down my throat, everything. I was given Klonopin which never seemed to do anything to me, was given meds for acid reflux which did nothing. Even after getting off BC my emotions have also gone haywire and I feel at an all-time low and this is ruining my life and my relationship with my boyfriend. I finally gave in and tried Xanax. The first two times I've taken it, I felt great for the rest of the evening and slept well. Today was the third day and I felt fine for about two or three hours and the pressure in my throat and under my jaw is back again. Does anyone think this could be anxiety or something else, or does it truly seem to be Yasmin?? I'm at my wits end and would like to go back on the pill for my emotions/periods if possible but I'm so afraid in case that caused my problems. I feel helpless and always in pain and discomfort.

I am a 30 year old nurse and know first hand how birth control pills are individual. I was on many before Yasmin. 6 months ago I started Yasmin because it was the new hype in birth control medicine since it reduces length of period, flow of period, and reduces acne.
I don't think the ingredient drospirenone that's included in Yasmin (a potassium sparing drug, and diuretic, another form of the same type is Spironolactone) works for me.
Ever since I had experienced these symptoms:
Anxiety-heart palpitations, suspiciousness, racing thoughts.
Headaches-tension, leading to muscle spasms in neck and shoulders.
Dizziness-Vertigo type spinning sensations
Ear fullness-popping and cracking without losing hearing.
Fatigue-no motivation, especially for an early riser and a person who works 12 hr shifts.
Chest tightness, lump in throat feeling, could be due to increase in stomach acid (HCl).
If anyone else has vertigo, or dizziness, I would love to know!
Thanks,
Good luck with trying a different form of birth control.

Hash thyriod disease with vitiligo.Synthroid .88mg. 3 yrs on Synthroid.
NONE OF THESE SYMPTOMS I HAVE HAD BEFORE SYNTHROID.
SEVERE knee pain,ovary pain,joint pain, bone pain,muscle aches, fatigue, sleep apnea, weight gain,depression, anxiety, edema, FIBROMYALGIA / LUPUS SYMPTOMS,chronic inflammation, numbness in left foot,numbness in left hand, lower back pain, headaches,elbow pain,abdominal pain, brain fog,HAIR LOSS and greasy hair (always had thick curly drier hair) greasy skin, white pimple-ish areas on arms, itchy breast, lymph breast pain,increased hunger, strong food cravings, irritability,high blood sugars (I am type 1 diabetic) synthroid is known to mess with insulin in a diabetic, all my symptoms have had one test or another ran and all come back normal. I have no diabetic neuropathys..which surprised the doctors when my nerve tests came back normal...he was blaming my diabetes for most symptoms and told me to eat less in regards to weight gain.Still he brushed off my symptoms. I have asked my (endo doctor) to put me on Armour but she refused, she said I would be taking steps into the dark ages.
As if the symptoms are not enough, I am developing more.
NEW SYMPTOMS..Globus sensation (feels like constant lump in throat) eye twiches, eye floaters (not diabetic related).
I did experience twice after a higher dosage was made I felt great for the first two weeks and then like crap again.
I have oddly noticed I have crazy-fast hair growth, although my hair is thinning and not replaced..I have to shave twice a day.

Also I read a comment about one person switching synthroid to evening and said they felt better. I am pretty sure this is because doing it that way the body absorbs less synthroid. And for any one who doesn't know..synthroid takes calcium from the bones over time.
I am sure the avg person on synthroid complains to a dr about symptoms and doctors never get a clue.

I've had all these same symptoms at one point during the two years I've been taking Advair. I've had exercise induced asthma since I was 18 but I can still work out at age 38 regularly with the help of Albuterol/Proventil. I stopped taking Advair after I completed my last disk in Sept, 08. It all makes sense now after the fact from reading here. Firstly, I cant tell you how severe the muscle cramps were. No words can describe upper body cramping in every muscle that I endured for weeks (it felt like knives all over)!!! The same happened with my legs...the muscles became so tight they contorted! My Dr. gave me an m.r.i. took x-rays and several blood tests...even gave me an h.i.v. test because he had no idea what would cause all these symptoms. He said it was "complicated". The test results found nothing. All lof my symptoms are gone now that I've stopped taking it (mouth sores, bleeding gums, strange skin lumps, hair loss, dry eyes, swollen tongue feeling, lump in throat feeling, severe cramping all over my body for 3 weeks). The Dr. noted that I had gained 10lbs since my last visit. I told him, "I've barely been able to MOVE with this cramping much less exercise with my regular weekly routine!" "It even hurts to breath deeply!" I still have a dry cough that hasn't gone away and normally I clear up after the seasonal rag weed season is over. We have had two hard frosts already...that usually clears my allergies.

I took FemCon FE for seven days and experienced a lot of severe side effects which included diarrhea after I eat, foully smell in urine, itching and burning in vagina (like a yeast infection), hearburn, hot flashes, burning feeling in my heart and chest (not the same thing as hearburn), and terrifying anxiety symptoms that consisted of heart palpitations, heart flutters, shortness of breath, numbness in arms, dizziness, join pain, lump in throat, tight chest pains, and insomnia. The anxiety symptoms seemed to be worse at nighttime. I literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack and die. I stopped taking the pill three days ago and I do feel some better, but not completely back to normal yet. I did a lot of praying during this difficult time and God helped me get through it. I know I couldn't have made it without Him. The fear of dying was so intense that I thought my heart was literally going to stop. I almost passed out a few times which is also a scary feeling. My doctor put me on Femcom FE for my hormones, not for birth control, because I had a tubal back in 2002. I would rather put up with my crazy hormones then have the extreme anxiety attacks. The only good thing was my period didn't last as long and was lighter. Now that I have went off of FemCon, I started bleeding again like a normal period. I don't recommend Femcom FE for anyone.

Husband taking 10mg. He is having dizziness, confusion, memory lapse, depression, short-temper, severe leg cramps, chills, loss of appetite, constipation and severe stomach cramps. We are discontinuing this medication. He thinks it's literally killing him like being poisoned.

I take Adderall NON xr 20mg with Lexapro 20 mg. I have general anxiety disorder so sometimes I get that chest tightness or the lump in throat feeling and it being hard to breathe but it usually went away when I took an Ativan. The Lexapro just seemed to stop working for me and my depression was bad and so we decided to add Adderall in because it made me more clear minded, hopeful, happy, and balanced. the only problem is, after about 4 or 5 hours I feel a "comedown" from this and it's completely horrible. I start to get very edgy and irritated, I lose my focus and feel kind of light headed and headache, I get tired but cannot sleep, my chest tightness and anxiety comes back pretty bad, and I get goosebumps and my back and neck tense up. I love how it makes me feel during the first 4 or 5 hours but once it starts wearing off the come down is just so awful I'm not sure what to do. i do take 1 Ativan before bed and that helps me sleep. I heard that I may need to take another 10mg of Adderall around 1 or 2 to give me a boost and sustain my balance and focus and all the good things about this medication. Does this actually work? Or do I just need to up my dosage? I understand that Adderall enhances anxiety in general so it makes sense but I wonder why I don't get anxiety when I first take it, but it seems to come on after the medication is starting to wear off.

I have a seve4e bronchial infection and was prescribed Levaquin 750 mg once a day for 5 days. Tomorrow will be my fifth day although I will not be taking it. When I started the medication I was beginning to feel better although I still had a really bad cough. I was also put on an inhaler.
I woke up today and felt like I have been hit with a truck. I can't hold anything in my hands, my kneew and ankles feel like someone took a bat to them and I have spent all day trying to figure out why I felt worse overall and now why I was feeling this horrible pain that is practially crimpling me.
I found this site when I googled "sever bronchial infection and joint pain".
I'm calling my dr tomorrow but I'm scared. Will this be permanent. I already have 2 herniated discs in my back and now I can't even walk or get up from a seated position.
I have a 1 year old I cannot even hold and have ot have someone help me take care of.
I hope this goes away and soon. The pain is close to unbearable.

I've had the lump in throat from lisinopril.

NOTE: I'm sharing information I've learned about myself in the hopes that it may steer someone else in the right direction. Use your own judgement. I'm a patient and a lisinopril sufferer, but not a doctor. Always consult your doctor (ha ha ha) before trying new medications or supplements!

There are three distinct causes that you may find difficult to believe, but I have experienced all of these mysef during a prolonged recovery from this poison - ah, I mean medicine. They do not necessarily happen all at the same time during the recovery.

1) Irritation of the upper air way in the throat because of the cough and the very small quantities of highly irritating very sticky stuff coming up. Helpful: zinc, selenium, beta glucan.

2) Irritation of the esophagus due to inadvertently swallowing that really sticky stuff. If this is the problem, you can solve it by never swallowing any of that sticky stuff. If you cough or even ahem, always spit it out. Try to cough into the sink in the morning; try to spit before eating anything. If this is the cause of the lump in the throat, then you will notice dramatic improvement using the (spiting) technique in about 3 days.

3) Thyroid being overworked due to insufficient nutrition (as it gets used up by the immune system when tackling the cough). The thyroid is at the base of the neck and when it is overworked it swells, usually mildly, and may feel like a streching sensation. The most likely problem here is selenium deficiency. If you are also having some shortness of breath, this is the most likely cause. Suggest trying 100mcg of selenium per day, possibly together with a kelp/iodine trace mineral supplement.

NOTE: I have had all three of these. I wish someone had told me about zinc, selenium and beta glucan much earlier.

Zinc is very soothing to the lungs and helpful for the immune system - I'd suggest around 25mg a day.

Selenium is very good for the immune system, and well known for its use by the immune system in chemical detox. I'd suggest 100-150mcg per day. Selenium is also used by thyriod system (in the thyroid itself as well as at the receptor cites all over the body), so if the immune system runs the body low on this one, then the thyroid system suffers. Combined with already damaged lungs, this causes shortness of breath. For the thyriod, selenium works best with iodine and boron, and make sure to get enough calcium and magnesium too.

Beta glucan is a powerful immune system stimulator. I wouldn't use it until I was taking both zinc and selenium for around 2 weeks because there is no point in stimulating the immune system if it doesn't have the nutrition it needs to detox. I have discovered that taking it for 1-2 days is sufficient to be helpful, and I'm concerned about overstimulating the immune system, so I only take it intermittently. I take 200mg twice a day for 2 days, or, 200mg three times the first day, then once the second day.

Products: I like Country Life Target Mins Zinc - comes in 50mg, which is too much for long term usage, so I split into 1/4s and take one or two 1/4s a day. I like Country Life yeast-based selenium - comes in 200mcg, I split to 1/4s and take 1/4 w/ lunch and 1/2 w/ dinner. I also like Country Life Kelp Trace mineral supplement. Beta glucan, I like Solgar's 200mg tablets.

Also recommend vit-c, vit-e, multimineral, vit-b, etc... also note that for weak stomach feeling, manganese can be helpful.

went to doc today, been off this junk for 5 weeks, feel good except for lump in throat, doc said she now knows that lisinopril takes 6 to 8 weeks to get out of youy system, any feedback? said wait a couple more weeks and if not better will have to scope throat.

I did have some pretty severe sinus and throat problems in the 1 month that i was on this pill. It still hasnt cleared completely. I have sore throat, dry throat, pain behind ears. My ENT did an endoscopy to check if i have acid reflux or post nasal drip. But there was nothing wrong there. So he has concluded that this might be because of hormonal prob. My family doc told me that before periods, my fluid retention might be going up and this can cause a feeling of a lump in throat and sinus problems. all docs have told me to wait till the hormones sort themselves out.

I accidentally(thank God) stumbled to this site after typing in a search for : viral infection that causes dizziness,racing heart,lump in throat. Up popped this!!! I was horrified but at the same time relieved. I am 35 yrs old and for the past 2 weeks I have been suffering from panic attacks,dizziness,uncontrollable hunger,constant thirst,tingling in my lower arms and hands.
I've been on Yasmin for a year now and am just now noticing these potent symptoms. I was in a restaurant in a business meeting 2 weeks ago. I suddenly felt hot,sweaty and extremely dizzy. Scared me to death!!
I've since been to my doctor 2 x's this past week. She's prescribed Omnicef,Zithromax,Augmentin XR under the assumption I had a sinus infection or ear infection causing these symptoms.
I took my last pill of Yasmin 6 days ago for my new cycle,and coincidently called my OB/GYN and complained about how expensive Yasmin is. She switched me to Estrostep. Is Estrostep better,the same or worse than Yasmin?? I still feel like a bus hit me,head is light and dizzy,nervous,panic attacks have spread out but not left completely,and hunger has slowed down. Am I getting better? Do I still need to go back to the doctor? Can I be fixed? Do I need a supplement? I need to relax so I can mother my 2 children and function in my daily life. any suggestions?
I thank God I accidentally found this site. Although I don't think it WAS an accident....HE answers prayers in the most awesome ways.

I am still recovering from numerous side effects from this lisinopril.

The most lasting effect is occasional shortness of breath, and aches & pains in the chest and abdomin. I have recently discovered that iron helps with this a lot.

As a recap, I've found over time that vit-C w/ bioflavinoids (twisting sensation in stomach), calicum (tight band around the chest, aching feet), vit-E (pains in chest) and iron (shortness of breath and muscle weakness/pain in abdomin) to be helpful in combating the side effects from this drug.

If you're having some of these problems, check to make sure you're getting enough of these nutrients.

Also remember: don't swallow that stuff it makes you cough up, that irritates the throat and stomach (lump in throat).

As always, best of luck to all!

Thank you for this forum, now I know for a fact that stuff is like arsenic. I was on Lisinopril (Zestril) for 6 months. I felt awful. SEVERE indigestion, deep chest pain on the left side , also joint pain in wrist and ankles, headache and difficulty in swallowing-like a lump in throat and always a nagging cough. Even worse than physical effects was the depression and confused feeling. So I Went back to doctor, he gave me an EKG which came out fine. So he said keep taking Zestil and added Zantac and Zoloft!! So here I was on the three Z's ..(was on Zestil 6 months but only took the Zantac and Zoloft for three weeks)and I WAS Zoning out. I felt worse, so stopped everything (been 3 months clean of these poisons) and symptoms gone almost immediately, although it took about a month to feel really good. Still have joint pain at times, but much better. I am not taking BP medication at all. I am now scared to go to doctor. I started taking high doses of calcium-magnesium softgels and drink two cups of warm milk with pure blackstrap molasses in it and taking Quercin C and a product of liquid potassium called KM..I do NOT have high blood pressure now..I am 47 yr. old woman and BP measurements twice daily for last two months have been approx. 127-135/78-84. This drug is dangerous, I am convinced... I really suffered when taking it..be careful folks.
