Hi Everyone. Here's the story...in Oct 2008 i went to the doctors thinking i had mumps. My throat was swolen and i could hardly eat anything. They did blood tests and one came back as me having an underactive thyroid but no mumps or any other virus's. The Thyroid issue was hard to take and i am sure this is where my anxiety really started. My thyroid levels are now normal but ever since Oct 2008 i have had the following symptoms on and off:
Lumpy feeling in left hand side of throat behind tonsil area really annoying.
Tight feeling like indigestion achey pain in throat on an off
A slight dry crispy feeling in the same area as the lumpy feeling(sometimes)
Tingling in neck (like prickley heat) on and off
Tightness in throat, difficulty breathing on and off
I have believed all this time that maybe these symptoms were somehow realted to the thyroid issue as they are in the near vacinity of the thyroid had loads of tests which were all ok....but now i am not so sure it is the thyroid. I have read about Globus and Cricopharyngeal Spasms and how they are related to Anxiety. Has anyone else had the above symptoms? Any help would be greatly recieved. Thanks in advance.
