Alright,
So Here's my situation, I dont have health insurance, unfortunatleey and I dont watn to spend thousands of dollars to go waste time if this is nothing, I dont know if there is a lump in my throat, but for the last month it feels like the sensation is not going away. I never felt like I had a lump in my throat before, so this is a new sensation, I acutally started feeling it when I was smoking cigarettes and some pot every day like 3 times a day... but now I quit both cigarettes and pot, so I am feeling better over all but this feeling in my throat is not gone, and the other strange thing is that right next to the feeling there are a few swollen glands which do not go away.
Symptoms:
When I first Started feeling the sensation in my throat I only felt it while smoking a cigarette, so that was another reason I gave them up. I just dont know, but its been probably 3 months total I am guessing that I ve had the sensation. Its hard to remember but definitly for 2 months. Just probably a week ago I started to have the sensation more consistently, sometimes it becomes less noticable after I eat or if I chew gum, otherwise I have the sensation, not to mention the glands which dont feel huge, but are there.
No pain
Glands No Pain
no cough
no difficulty breathing
only feel sensation on right side of throat
cant feel it from the outside, except a few swollen glands, which are not tender or sore, just can feel them.
just quit smoking pot like a week ago..
Life style Cons:
Smoked for 5 yrs on and off... maybe like 2.5 total
stress due to work, long hours,
Often Lack of sleep.
Pro's:
quit smoking
starting to eat healthy - vegtables good diet but not too many times a day.
dont really drink, used to..
I am 24 yrs old
Havent really had too much contact with a phisician for about 7 yrs..
no primary phisician
I am conserned but dont know how to act because I dont really have insurance like I said and right now I am self employed and its really really a rough time financially, I am in between a rock and a hard place, go get checked out and spend thousnads I dont have, or die of cancer. So any suggestions or advice is cool... Thanks 8) 8)

I have the same exact problem, (age:24,smoked ciggs and pot, lump in throat that won't go away,no insurance.) I am really shook up about this as well. I called for an application for health insurance today. I really have to get this checked out, or it will drive me insane. When I inhale, it feels like the air is hitting a certain part of the trachea by my vioce box and causing some tenderness. I feel like Im to young to have cancer, but what could it be? I live in New York State, and there is a plan for people with income lower than 25,000 a year, that will cover you for 220 a month. I want to get it checked out and if it's nothing Ill just cancel the insurance. Ill keep you posted of any changes. And any other info would be useful. %-)
Hi. I feel as though there is a lump in my throat, but I do not feel pain and have no difficulty breathing or swallowing. What could likely happening?
