Hi, hoping someone could give me a little
insight into my symptoms.
Earlier this week, I experienced a sort of
tightness and/or lump in my throat. I'd
noticed its presence all day, but it
didn't become truly bothersome until I
began thinking about it and worrying, I
was able to convince myself I wasn't
swallowing properly, when in actuallity I
was. I came on this board and saw a
thread in which someone explained that it
was the uvula hanging down the throat
creating the lump sensation, sure enough,
my own uvula was swelled up a bit. So I
put it out of my mind, and though my
throat has still not been perfect, it was
easy to ignore, almost unnoticable all
together.
But starting earlier lastnight i've gotten
sort of a pain on my lower throat (by my
collar bone). I say on because it's not
what i'd define as a sore throat. It
feels as if its more on the outside on the
front of my neck. If I move or strain my
neck, I experience a faint pain down
there. If I stretch my neck out and
swallow, I can also feel it. I'm
beginning to worry a bit, and my throat
does feel sort of tight, though those
close to me have not looked upon it as
anything serious. I smoke, and i'm 20 if
that helps...Any insight would be helpful.
