Not new to health anxiety but I am new to the lump in the throat, which is of course why I am convinced there is something deadly wrong with me.

For those of you who have experienced this, did it start out infrequently but then come on stronger and be with you all day except when you are sleeping?

Also, (this is gross), are you able to digest all your food? I keep throwing up or I guess its called regurgiation. Sometimes if I make myself thorw up the lump sensation goes away for a few hours.

I'm such a mess. I gotta get up the nerve to go see the doctor but I need to take a few xanax before I can even make the call. And then I know its just going to be a series of agnozing and scary tests. If anyone can give me reassurance, I'd appreciate it.
