Hi. I'm so worried I might have esophageal cancer. I woke up yesterday with really bad sore throat and a feeling like there's a lump in my throat and I still have it now. The night before it started I ate a curry and my diet weren't great yesterday so could it be to do with diet? Or could this be cancer? I'm so worried. I also have burning in my chest. I'm 32, don't smoke, don't drink, I am overweight however and my diet hasn't been great lately.
Please reply

You don't have oesophageal cancer. You might have reflux, or be starting a cold.

There ya go! :whistles:
Just to ask... I asked if you were getting real life help back in 2015 and you replied:
Im going to try and make a doctors appointment and i will mention the anxiety as its controlling my life and im currently not treating it.
Any progress on that?

Yes it could be diet.
I get the chest burning / pressure. Especially after anything spicy or too fatty/heavy.
You could try eating a bit plainer for a few days & see if that helps.

Louise - try not catastrophizing - think logically of what could cause it and I am sure you can answer your own questions most of the time.
