uncomfortable throat problem!!!!!

Have you been under a lot of stress lately or suffered from anxiety or depression maybe?
I had throat problems when I was really stressed out due to work and personal problems. Ok, it lasted for two months, not two years but still.

The problem with the throat was that I had a lump-like feeling that would not be present when I wake up but would appear during the day and get worse in the evening when I was really tired. It would sometimes make my throat hurts or cause breathing troubles but it would kind of subside when I would eat. I had no troubles eating.

When I saw a doc, she looked at me and told me it was nothing physical and probably due to stress. Then I read somewhere that a lump sensation appears in throat when a person’s under a lot of stress for a long time. It is some kind of muscle that makes the sensation. I took a holiday and went to the sea-side. The moment I relaxed, the bump disappeared.

However, I did not have additional symptoms like you do but stress can cause all sorts of physical symptoms…why don’t you learn about it more?

Have you been checked for cancer? In your throat and armpits are limph nodes. When my boyfriends brother had cancer his limph nodes under his armpits were swollen to the size of golf balls. I'm not trying to scare you but it would probably be a comfort to eliminate the possibility

I am 18 and i have been having the same problem since i was about 15. I thought It was from occasionally smoking but it continued long after i quit. I do feel it is from stress. Coffee and Energy Drinks almost always set it off so i try to avoid large amounts. It has cause me to have a few anxiety or panic attack because i fear it will swell to the point of suffocation. I also have a severe peanut allergy which makes my paranoia worse when i feel the swelling because i fear i ate something containing peanuts. It appears that we are the only cure. I just try to eat fresh healthy foods because excessive corn syrup products have been proven to alter moods.

Hello my friend, I am not well for over a year now, I had 6 HIV tests, urine analysis, blood work , endoscopy , throat swab, among other tests. My stress level was at the highest, with nightmares. I had the most four hours sleep per day . What I can advise you is to try your best to relax and force yourself to eat and rest, pray to God almighty regardless of your race or religion find some time to pray. I went to countless doctors all specialist and to date no one solve my problem, I am doing better now since I tried to reduce my stress level, I can now smile again even though I am not 100%, I am getting to sleep some what, my dry mouth gone, itching anus gone also allergy attacks gone so I come a long way. Please take my advise try your best to relax , use lots of liquids and eat a balance diet, I was very hard for me to eat back then but i was aware that if I don't I will die. Finally, only you know how you are feeling, so keep visiting the doctor once you are not well. I am going back to the doctor next month, but I am not that worried as before, I spent lots of money but all I need is to get well again. Hope that my message help you in some way. Will keep you in my prayer.
