I am having a gurgling sound coming from my throat. the sound comes about 2 seconds after I swallow. I noticed this about 3 days after I had an endoscopy procedure a couple weeks ago. Also a feeling of a lump or fullness in my throat. This doesn't interfer with eating or drinking. I didn't have any trouble before. Has anyone experienced this and if so how long did it last before settling down? I am hoping just muscles that have been stressed.

Ive had 2 endoscopies. The gurggling is from acid going up your esophagus and doesnt really have anythiing to do with the endoscopy. It can be a normal occurrance with gerd. the fullness could be from the procedure and may take a week or 2 to go complletely away. It will be ok!

Hi Carla,
I just had my EGD and I can't say I have had any symptoms like yours, but I would suggest you call the doctor that did the procedure and ask them if it is normal. I would wait 2 weeks then call. The office nurse will be able to tell you what to do. Let us know how you make out. Good luck. Susan

I have the same issue. I haven't seen my g.e. doctor since the endoscopy, but the gurgling is reduced by straightening my neck's posture (i.e. pushing the rear of my head back and straightening it upward). Do you have an update on your gurgling? It's been a while since the original post.
