LUMP FEELING IN THROAT

Hey everyone,
I'm a 21 yr old female and for the last 2 months or so I have been suffering from a lump feeling in my throat and it is driving me nuts!!! The location and intensity of the feeling varies from day to day but it is present almost all the time. I have no trouble eating or swallowing it is just VERY irritating. When I swallow it feels as though it moves up and down. At times I don't even feel like talking because I can feel it irritating my throat whilst I speak. It feels as though I have a a piece of food or something stuck and I need to either burp it up or cough it up but it doesn't matter how much I cough and burp it won't budge. At the moment it feels like it is on the left side of my throat like near my tonsil but then other days it feels like its in the middle of the back of my throat. I have also been coughing up large amounts of flem so I'm sure if this could be causing the feeling? I do occassionally suffer from acid reflux which does get quite painful but that is only here and there. Also I do have generalized anxiety disorder which everyone I tell about my lump feeling blames it on the anxiety, but I find it hard to accept that since I feel this lump nearly all the time. I do suffer from chronic tonsilites too and have heard of tonsil stones so I'm not sure if thats what it could be also? I don't know but I'm starting to get really worried because I always think the worst straight away! It plays on my mind 24/7. I am going to see a doctor this week to get it checked out but until then I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas what this could be or if anyone has suffered from the same kind of thing. All replies will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey,

I just found your message while on line trying to help my mom. She has been going through the exact same thing as you. Have you been able to find out what is causing this or something that helps? She had every test possible and they keep saying it's stress and anxiety as well.

I'm having the EXACT same thing. I'm also suffering from anxiety Sad

.

I've been having this chocking feeling lately, and Im thinking that this could all be because of GERD.

Have you got any answers?
