Hello,

For about a year now I have a more or less constant pressure behind the nose and also in the Eustachian tubes with excessive yawning. My GP said it was anxiety (which I was a bit dubious of since I have a very relax way of life) and I was given clomazepam and benzodiazepine for a while, this did not stop the symptoms and I am still having them.

Since I could not get referred to a specialist I decided to do a private MRI. I was given a CD but did not met any consultant that would give me a proper analysis of my results based on my symptoms.

After a bit of research and observing my symptoms for a year, I reached the conclusion that the problem seems to be located in the nasopharynx (cavum) area.
On my MRI there seem to be a little mass precisely in that area, I was wondering if you could give me some info on what it could be.

I initially thought it could be a Thornwaldt cyst but I don’t seem to manifest any of the common symptoms associated with that condition, I only feel pressure in that area. I would also like to add that I developed intestin sensitivity(constipation mainly) at the same time that the pressure initially appeared a year ago

along with regular nausea and occasional need to gasp for air.

Below are 2 links showing 2 pictures of my MRI that indicate the exact area where I feel the pressure (surrounded with a red circle):

I could do with some opinions

Thank you
