I started with a dry throat and slight bunged up nose about 3 weeks ago. This coincided with a trauma in the family which knocked me for six. I have been feeling very stressed and upset ever since.
A few days after it I started with a slight headcold, nothing major but I had a bunged up nose slightly, dry throat, achy head and a very hoarse voice but no sore throat..... but within 3 days cold symptoms cleared. I have been left with a gooey throat feeling ever since which makes me cough to constantly clear it. It is really annoying.
I saw my GP last week about something else and he checked my chest whilst I was there and he said it was fine, it was just in my throat. It does just feel like I have gunk in my throat and it won't clear, it isn't thick but at times it makes my voice go a little croaky.
I am worrying a little as it will be 3 weeks on Monday since it started and I am still having to clear my throat. I am worrying that once I read it can be sign of a type of cancer, I can't remember which (I am not thinking lung) but it affects the throat and voice so me being me I am a tad worried.
I am worried I can't fight it off but my GP said I had no fever, I looked well so nothing to worry about.
My daughter has just started with a thick throat type cough and cold, but I think that could be something else as I started with mine quite a while back.
I have my GP next Thursday for some blood results to check my iron and white cells, as they can both dip at times. I am worried about my bloods now just incase, but in June they were perfect he said.
Am I worrying over nothing and this could all just be stress induced? My husband says I am fine and he thinks I just need to drink more water and worry less, he knows I have had an awful time recently losing my Nan and I was attacked by my brother:weep: I hope he is right and things will feel better soon.
