Exploring Throat Lumps

[Myreos]

Hi there,

Yes, I know, this topic has been written about a lot already.
I just have a simple question: I've had this lump in my throat for about a month, coming and going. I know it's probably stress and anxiety related, that's also what my doc says.
When I look it up on the Web, though, I have the impression that most people get this lump in the middle of their throat, around the adam's apple. Mine is only on the left side of my throat.
Crumbs of food sometimes get stuck on that side, but I can always bring them down with a second swallow. I don't have any problems eating or drinking otherwise.
Did any of you have that lump only on one side?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Souris!

I get this too. Have you had your thyroid checked? many people here think thyroid disorders could have a direct effect on our twitching, anxiety and throat issues. Have it check, if you haven't already.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks Kim,

I made an appointment already to get my thyroid checked.
It would be so nice if I could find an answer to my symptoms.
I also went for a blood test this morning for my CPK levels, I'll have the results tomorrow.
Let's see.

Thanks, Kim.
I made an appointment already to have my thyroid tested.
It would be nice to find an answer for all my symptoms.
I also had a blood test this morning for my CPK levels.
