Is My Lump In My Throat Due to Stress? Posted: 04-08-07 04:53am


hi i am curious whether my sensation in my throat is due to stress or anxiety. i have the feeling that something is stuck in my throat. it is not sore and i can swallow foods and liquids fine but i have trouble swallowing my own saliva. my lymph npodes are not swollen and i am not coughing up blood. i quit smoking recently having smoked occasionally. sometimes it feels like the lump or feeling is moving around. i was nervous that it may be a cancer but i do not have the rest of the symptoms to match. could someone please help.... much appreciated. erin

First, are you sure this is not the Adam's apple? Lol. Second, were there times it went away, and when was it? If you remember when it was gone, try repeating the same moments, ex. relaxing. Is it obvious, and could it be seen? If yes, contact a doctor. If not, think of other things to distract yourself, try watching some movies, or buying something you really like- it usually helps if it's a technology based item- PC, Laptop, Mobile Phone...etc I hope you feel better Again, I'm just around 13, so don't expect much on the answer! Thanks

Me too! I have something similar. I see a red bump close to my tonsils, I saw my doctor month ago, he said what he sees is just a tissue build-up. I needed a second opinion so he refers me to a ENT. I call the ENT and they couldn't schedule to see me for another month! I think my stress is builiding up and my throat symptom feels worse than ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
