For the last week or so I've noticed I have pain in my throat whenever I breathe in. It feels like it's in the middle and lower part of my throat, just under my adam's apple, and it is almost like something shoots upwards through my throat as I breathe in and hits a wall. Hard to describe but it's a very uncomfortable feeling. It feels like a pulling, bruised sensation.
I had a cold or some kind of infection last week, and it seem to have cleared itself up. I noticed the pain and the cold appeared pretty much at the same time, so perhaps they are related.
I am also taking voice/singing classes as University, so it could be related to that also. Perhaps I have strained or pulled a muscle??
It is mostly when I breathe in, but I notice sometimes if I sigh, burp, or look up and left, the pain comes a second or two afterwards. I do not have a cough whatsoever, but I find I am getting a very dry throat lately, and have to keep drinking water. My lymph nodes in my neck also feel a bit bigger than usual.
Anybody have any ideas on what this might be? I'm tempted to go to a doctor, but don't really know if it warrants a visit. It's not like I've coughed any blood or anything...yet. It is worrying me though. Comments, thoughts? Thank you xx

I think I may be breathing too deeply actually, and that's what's causing it. Because whenever I notice my breathing I have a tendency to breathe deeper? I've tried just relaxing and letting my body breathe for me and the pain seems noticeably diminished.
