Hi- I am 12 weeks pregnant and had, what I believe to be an esophageal spasm this morning. It was incredibly painful and now the majority of the pain has subsided, however I have been left with this residual feeling of having a lump in my throat which makes me feel as if I might vomit. I did vomit twice during the intensely painful time. I do not feel nauseated now, just have this sensation which is triggering my gag reflex constantly 1- when might I expect this lump sensation to subside? 2- is this something that is a concern that I should see my doctor for today or can I wait until my routine visit next week? Thank you. Sara
