I am going through horrible anxiety at the moment. It started with tonsillitis about a,month ago, and that cleared up, then the area around my wisdom tooth got tender and inflamed, then since then it seems to have moved to my throat.
My throat often feels like there is a lump in iy, often on one side but sometimes both. It got so bad at one point that I could hardly eat, and swallowing was really painful. I also have ear pain on one side or sometimes both.
I know that I am clenching my jaw at night as I wake up doing it, so part of me thinks TMJ, but I am so terrified I have cancer :(
I also feel generally unwell, maybe through stress but of course I am worried it is something worse. I am tired all the time and have no energy. I feel like everything is on top of me and I can't shake this off. I have been to the Dr who said the glands in my neck were slightly up, which also has me worrying about lymphoma. I am waiting for an appointment withh the dentist and the Dr said to go back in a month if it is still going on.
