Hi
I will go to the doctors but wondered if anyone could give any ideas about what is going on with my body!
I'm asthmatic ( this could be irrelevant) and I've noticed that it's been worsening for the last 6 months or so. I had been putting it down to hay fever etc. It's not too bad, but I've felt tight chested/breathless at times and have had a cough - cough seems to disappear with inhalers.
Weirdly, when I cough/sneeze I get a weird sensation in my throat/top of chest ( bottom of neck). It feels like a lump appears, which then quickly disappears. This has been happening for months.
The symptom that is now making me feel I need medical attention is that for the last few days I've had a bit of upper chest soreness when I swallow food/drink. Not really painful - I can swallow fine- but it's bothering me that is it linked to the lump feeling?
I have anxiety , and have had this for several years. I particularly worry about my health and know my anxiety causes chest tightness and I've had globus sensation in my throat thanks to it. So I anxiety could be exacerbating it. I'm also very overweight - something I need to sort out
Any ideas? I can't really get to the docs until later in the week - unless I feel it's bad enough to warrant time off work
