Pain/sensation in one side of throat?

[WiseMonkey]

Hi,

You mentioned you could have fibro? If you have, then it's an autoimmune condition like CFS. Random sore throats can happen with these conditions especially if you're run down. I had a sore throat on and off for 3 months last year, it would swap sides too!
It slowly got better over the school holidays when I wasn't teaching and using my voice.

Update: The other day, halfway through the day, the pain just suddenly stopped. Earlier that day, it was still as bad as before and felt like there was no signs of it stopping, so it was kinda weird, it just like... quit hurting outta nowhere.

I can still feel a niggle of pain when I do a big yawn but the worst seems to be over. For now. I've been free of it for over 24 hours, but still worried it's going to come back at any time. Also still worried what it is/was and plan to have it checked out, of course. I'm glad I at least feel physically better for now.

I'm a little more convinced it may be due to the wisdom tooth I mentioned but maybe it's just wishful thinking... if nothing else, I guess I'll know when the tooth is out.

I don't know if I have fibro, but I've often thought about it because of symptoms I've had for years that seem like it. That's a whole other story... maybe for another pist. I've basically never mentioned it to a doctor because I start to feel like my pain isn't bad enough or frequent enough, or that it's just due to my rather sedentary lifestyle. Also my throat pain never switches sides so even if I have fibro, I'm not sure that's the cause of this.

Just wanted to post to say I have the EXACT same issue as you! A small, niggling feeling on the left side of my throat (sort of 3 inches or so to the left of my adams apple). It's causing me to constantly try and clear my throat but nothing ever resolves it and apart from a little phlegm each time, nothing comes up.

I too have had Globus before when I was diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia which causes me to have Acid Reflux and it wasn't like this. That was lower down and felt like a tennis ball in my chest cavity.

This throat feeling is very localised, isn't affecting my breathing or swallowing but does sometimes feel a tad better when I rest my head on a chair (when sitting down in the evening) or when lying in bed...Weird!

Anyway, something else odd in me is that I started with ectopic heart beats (skipped beats) every minute at almost the exact same time that this throat feeling started! Not sure if it's related though.

I have an appt with an ENT specialist tomorrow, fingers crossed he finds nothing! I'd rather that and me have to deal with this till it goes on it's own rather than them finding something bad...As you said in your post, the brain is convincing me also that this HAS to be serious...why else would it be localised?
