Hi all!

Not overly concerned at my recent set of symptoms but it's a strange feeling I struggle to explain! It could be anxiety related but might not be!

I have been fine for ages and I went for routine blood tests and the nurse said my hemoglobin was slightly raised but nothing to worry about. So naturally I start thinking 'why is this, there has to be a problem' !

Anyway for the last 2 weeks , maybe slightly longer I have been getting a feeling at the very base of my throat where my collar bones meet almost going into my upper chest! It makes me want to cough but when I do it doesn't alleviate it. It's almost like heartburn but it's not because I know what that feels like! More like a tickling sensation but not. Very hard to describe! But no chest pain.

Then I'm trying to catch my breath because anxiety sets in!

I don't smoke, I am 26 and have a very healthy diet!

What could this be?

Haemoglobin is found on the surface of red blood cells and absorbs oxygen during respiration to carry it to the cells, so I don't think having raised haemoglobin is something to worry about and for the sensation, silent GERD?
