I’m really struggling at the moment and feel like I’m losing my grip on what’s real and what isn’t. I’m just looking for someone who might have had similar to me as I feel like I’m never going to feel normal.
Around 3 weeks ago I was eating my breakfast when I felt it like it got stuck in my throat, for the rest of the day I had a weird sensation like something was stuck. I had a horrible taste in my mouth also. Had a look in my mouth and saw a white lump on the back of my throat, went to the doctors who said it was an ulcer. A few days later I started getting a burning sensation in my sternum area and also my right shoulder blade. It felt like I had a stick poking from my chest through to my back. I went back to the doctors who fast tracked a ENT referral for the lump. By this point I convinced myself I had cancer. I got an appointment within two days. The ENT consultant took one look and said it was a posterior molocule and sent me on my way with no consideration for the burning sensation etc.
I still have this burning sensation and weird tension pain in my shoulder, it is there ALL day. It feels like it will never leave. I convinced myself it was anxiety but I just don’t know if anxiety manifests itself in this way and how long it will last for. I feel so withdrawn and I’m struggling to enjoy anything with this constant feeling. I’m sorry for the long post, I just don’t know what to do next.
I’ll also add that I’ve been taking over the counter medication for acid reflux in case it’s that but that’s not doing anything.
