Something stuck in throat by epiglotis Posted: 12-25-07 10:48am
I know theres a lot of these topics
floating around, but I still don't feel
like I know whats causing it, and its
Christmas week, unable to contact EMTs,
and the hospital is most likely filled
with flu patients.
About 2 weeks ago my throat started
swelling, hurt to swallow, hurt to turn my
neck, and tender to the touch. Went to my
family doctor and the nurse said it was
most likely a throat virus, and told me to
pick up some 20MG Prednisone tablets at
the pharmacy to knock down the virus.
I started taking those and as soon as the
swelling and pain started to clear up ,
the feeling that something is stuck in my
throat began. So for the last week I've
had this feeling 24/7, and it worsens
towards the end of the day, or when ever I
eat. Its making it miserable to even stay
awake, I try to eat before I go to bed, so
I can hopefully fall asleep before anxiety
inevitably kicks in.
Any ideas anyone? I'm freaking out over
here, its causing me to swallow over and
over every second all day to clear my
throat.
I know nothing about the throat, but it
almost feels like what ever is causing
this problem, is right near the
epiglottis, maybe a little bit further
down.
Sorry if this is kind of unclear, I'm
having an anxiety attack just thinking
about it. Feels like there is something
large stuck in my throat, making it
difficult to swallow saliva, but not
effecting my breathing, or swallowing of
food.

Is the feeling that the object is
horizontally or vertically present in your
throat?
