Been a long time since I've posted a health related worry here and I am so angry at my self for doing so as my anxiety has been pretty much non-existent for a long time.
I was looking in the mirror and I noticed the middle of my neck has a lump, of course I know this is where the adams apple is but it seems larger on the left side than the right. It moves up and down when I swallow. I don't know how long its been there. Maybe it is just something I have never taken any notice of and my anxiety is making it look worse but I am very concerned that it feels larger on one side.
Has anyone else had anything like this?
Seriously Shaun? C'mon now..... you know better :whistles:

I know I know, HA just seems to have hit me from out of no where. I called in sick to work today and I've been googling all morning trying to find images that look similar to my neck.
It moves up and down when I swallow which makes me think it's part of the Adams apple but why would it be larger one side?
How can I have no anxiety for months on end then out that blue it feels like I am back to square one!
Dude... Of course it's your Adam's Apple and we're asymmetrical by nature! You know this! You're having a blip and hyper-focusing on something that's been that way most likely forever. The positive is you recognize it's your HA. Pull from what you've done previously to put the dragon back in his cave and for goodness sakes, stay off Google will ya?! :lac:

So I thought I could beat This flare of HA but sadly it got worse and when I say worse I mean I've hit the worst patch I have ever had.
I had still been worrying about this lump so I tried to get a doctors app but I couldn't so I decided to pop into the pharmacist to get it looked at. I got there and she came out to look at me, she had a look and said "I don't know what that is see a doctor" I asked if it could be a lymph node and she said "no chance, see a doctor"
Hearing that my head went, I passed out, smacking my head on the counter as I went down, I woke up a few seconds later sitting in a chair with all the staff around me, dripping in sweat and I started to cry, they quickly put a curtain around me and 1 staff member sat with me and spoke to me and called me ambulance.
The ambulance arrived and they were good, checked me and said I was fine from the fall and they looked at the lump I was worrying over and felt it, they said they didn't know what it was and as they are paramedics they couldn't say too much but the paramedic did say if she thought it was serious they would take me to hospital right away. I burst into tears again in the back on the ambulance
as I am so worries. The paramedic even managed to get me a doctors app for me as I was so worried an have not been sleeping. She also said the lump is not causing me an problems such as eating, moving etc so said try not worry but go to the docs to put your mind at rest.
I have never felt so bad and I don't understand why it's come on this bad for going so long being fine. I am in a mess at home now panicking that it's something serious.

So the chemist I was in is next door to my docs and I now am worried as to why the paramedic went in to get me the appointment, maybe she was really worried about it and didn't actually want to tell me. I don't think I can even go tomorrow as I may pass out again

I just feel like crying my anxiety is that bad, I don't know what to do
ShaunRyder
15-04-21, 01:08
Ok I have been going over what the paramedics said to me regarding the lump.
She said '' If we was very worried about it we would take you to the hospital now'' and they did not.
She also said ''If it is not causing movement issues, swallowing or breathing then try not to worry''
That is what is making me calm what she said.
But then I am worrying that the other paramedic got me a doctors appointment, I think it was because I was so anxious and the other paramedic said ''you need to see a doctor to put your mind at ease'' but what if they were just saying that to keep me calm and really they were very concerned about the lump.
You need to calm down. I understand what you are doing because I used to do that sort of thing myself. Years ago I was under a specialist who sent me for a breast ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a benign lump. Still my specialist wanted me to go to a breast specialist. His words to me were “not because I think it is anything but so you don’t sue me”. So maybe all of those people faced with your irrational response were just being cautious in what they said in case it came back to bite them in the future. Look at yourself from their perspective. What they see is a person almost out of their mind with worry - crying and fainting over a lump that is probably just something that you have always had. They don’t know you have HA and even if they did it wouldn’t mean they understood anything about it. Most people don’t.
So did you see the doctor?

Hi swajj, thank you for the replies. Yes I have been and just got back and I'm in a mess. The nurse first spoke to me about my anxiety and upped my tablets to 40mg and also gave me sleeping tablets.
Regarding the lump she said she wasn't too concerned but has sent me blood tests and 'urgent' ultrasound!? If she isnt worried why is this 'urgent', she must feels its sinister and could be a cancer or something! She did say she thought it could be a cyst but why the 'urgent' part. I feel absolutely terrible and know this is going to be bad.
Try to put yourself in her shoes and view yourself through her eyes. You come across as teetering on the edge of a total breakdown. My guess is the urgency is more about preventing that from happening than anything else.
ShaunRyder
15-04-21, 10:58
That's what I was thinking, I was very upset when I first went in with tears in my eyes and she spoke about my emotions before the feeling the lump. I am in bed now crying, even when my HA was bad a few years back I never done this. I can't get over her saying urgent ultrasound

Agreed, based on the way you spiraled here Shaun, especially after you've done so well, that makes sense. May be time for a refresher in therapy after you get the all clear ;)

The nurse gave me two numbers to call for therapy, right now I can't even think of that. She got me to swallow and saw the lump move up and down and also stick my tounge out and I just googled as to why they do this and it says a duct cyst. She said to me she wasn't concerned, she told me she just didn't know what it was and she mentiones something about my thyroid. She even said thyroid problems can cause anxiety. But urgent ultrasound she obviously thinks it's serious
She’s a nurse, she isn’t a doctor. Why would she even be thinking “I’d better check for a duct cyst”? I have nothing against nurses (my sister-in-law and niece are nurses) they deserve nothing but admiration but they aren’t doctors Shaun.

Would a nurse not know then if it was a duct cyst or anything like that?
She said to me urgent ultrasound and that's when I broke down and cried, she said let me go away and talk to a colleague about the ultrasound and ill see what comes back. I just can't take it any of this in.

I've just had a call back, they have referred me to the Head and neck specialist for TWO WEEKS! She said this is the cancer route but she isnt sending me cause she is worried about cancer, she said she is referring me quicker because it's the first time it's been checked. Something really isn't right here, oh my god it's going to be serious
She said it is the cancer route? You need a new nurse. Or better still an actual doctor.

I'm not sure as I was in the back of the ambulance, the chemist I fainted in was next door to my doctors so he went in a got an appointment for me, he came back out and just you've got a doctors appointment tomorrow at 10am
Where I live Shaun, I can walk out my door tomorrow and see a different doctor every hour if I want to. I’m not sure how it works where you are but I would be trying to see a doctor as soon as you can. Not because I think you have cancer or something else serious but because you are now in the hands of someone who thinks it’s no big deal to start mentioning the “cancer route”. There isn’t a person with HA who wouldn’t spiral after being told that.

My doctors surgery has doctors and nurses, this is the first time I have seen a nurse at my doctors surgery, when I first walked in the receptionist said "shaun for the nurse" and then said "that way for the nurse" I found this odd as I have never seen a nurse before and on my form from the paramedics it says "will see doctor tomorrow at 10am". I really don't know why I was booked in with a nurse.
Also she said on the phone I spoke to a colleague like she didn't have the power to refer me, but she did say she wasn't concerned about cancer
Maybe they all know about your health anxiety and didn’t think it was necessary to see the doctor. I would think that if the nurse looked at your neck and thought there was a need for the doctor to look at it then that would have happened. Nurse practitioners can refer patients for certain tests but even if your nurse was one of those nurses one would think the doctor would have made that call. I really don’t know.

I think she has suspected something bad. I honestly don't know what to do now.
Ask to see your doctor and tell him how all of this has made you feel. If the staff a your surgery won’t let you see the doctor then go and find a new doctor.
ShaunRyder
15-04-21, 12:40
I can't do this, it's got to be serious I know it. The nurse has me questioning everything now, she asked if had come up suddenly or its been there a while, I think it's been there a long time but I don't know now. I've looked in photos and in some I can a bump in my neck on the same which actually looks bigger than now. I don't know anything anymore. A fast track 2 week is serious and the nurse or someone else she spoke to is seriously worried about it

Sorry I replied before seeing your latest post. I want to see a doctor but I don't know what else they can do. The nurse upped my meds and gave me sleeping tablets, she didn't actually fill out a prescription for me so I'll have to ring to get it
A doctor can tell you what else it could be. That will give you a different way to think about it. I know the nurse told you she doesn’t think it’s cancer but your brain is stuck on cancer now. Most of us with HA will think of the worst case scenario if we aren’t given any other scenarios. I’m not a doctor but I’m sure there a lot of things that can cause a lump like you have, most of them harmless. I don’t care what anyone says you shouldn’t be left to agonise for weeks over it being cancer. You need to be able to counteract that type of thinking with other scenarios. For example, “ well it could just be a harmless cyst or a normal part of my anatomy like my doctor said”. You deserve that.

Thank you for your replies than are making me feel a bit calmer. I definitely cannot go two weeks and then the wait for results feeling like this, this is day 3 of worrying so far I have eaten properly or slept and collapsed in a shop. I can't do this. My only thought it is cancer.

This is all too much. I've made my neck really red by rubbing and poking it etc. My dad made me some lunch and I was sick. I've been on the phone crying to a mental health charity but there isn't much they can do only put me forward for counselling.

No they don't know that it is something bad. They also don't know about being seriously worried. Why does it have to be something bad? And if you actually did have something serious like cancer what would you do then !?

She felt it and within a week I'm getting tests, she must be very concerned if its happened this quickly? And if it was the worse case scenario I don't know what I'd do.

Okay but that does not mean something is seriously wrong. My dad has the big C....in which he had to be seen by head and neck specialist.

I'm trying to remain calm, yes I know I shouldn't do this but I did a Google search to see what else it could other than anything serious.
I cam across something called a thyroglossal duct cyst, the photos look exactly like mine, they are mainly present in children but most don't go detected til adulthood, if it's this type of cyst the lump moves up and down when swallowing and also when sticking the tounge out which mine does and the nurse even got me to do both of them so I'm hoping this is what she thought it was. I was up last night til about 4am, looking in the mirror examining it with photos and videos online and it looks very similar the way it moves etc.
Has anyone had or know anyone who has a cyst like this?
Sorry for keep posting on here but I am really spiralling, I have only slept about 6 7 hours in a few days and can't eat and nobody is around for me to talk to.

Why are you googling !? So not only are you doing that, you are examining yourself. You have no idea what you are looking for.

Ok so I havent checked my phone properly in a few days and i was going through notifications and found a message from the doctors which was send this morning saying I have a doctors phone appointment in two weeks to review my condition...what condition? I have not been tested for anything yet. They must think something is wrong?
My mum also said the lump looked like it had gone down slightly but I dont what or who to believe atm because i think people are just saying stuff to make me less worried.
what condition?
Extreme anxiety? :whistles:

Or there is nothing physically wrong with you?
Sounds like extreme anxiety. Gotta practice some mindfulness meditation or coping techniques... we can understand your anxiety, but you know it for sure only you can control your mind...and practice makes perfect. I believe we all are battling these constant random pains and symptoms, but the key is to try and keep level, fight on.

ShaunRyder
22-04-21, 10:16
So I've just got out my appointment, I was only in there round about 5 minutes, he felt the lump and said he is 99.9% sure it is just a cyst and non cancerous, he did say he would send me for an ultrasound and biopsy at some point but said he would be VERY VERY shocked if it came back bad. He told me before I left "go to the pub, have some food and get some sleep and live your life" my anxiety has got a lot better, but I am still worrying about the ultrasound and biopsy but I will keep telling myself the ent was 99.9% sure it is nothing serious.

Since leaving my appointment on thursday morning I have felt great, no anxiety or anything but now its all back knowing I have an ultrasound tomorrow. Is it normal to have an ultrasound on a cyst, even though the specialist has said it is a cyst?

26-04-21, 17:15
Would it be to just confirm it?

26-04-21, 17:43
Dude, seriously. Pull yourself together. The only problem here is your persistent doom and gloom, and I assume hourly Googling of 'what's going to kill me'.
You've been told what it is and they're giving you an ultrasound to have a look at it.
Take this as a lesson for next time, you have driven yourself mad for weeks on end over something benign. You have assumed the worst with no knowledge and panicked yourself to death without any actual concrete evidence anything is wrong.
Your mate is right, just calm down. If you can't, try again. If you still can't, try harder.
And stop Googling.

Hey Shaun! Sadly I also have experience with this. It's so frightening when you find something completely alien on your body, I've been there and completely understand. Mine dragged on for a few months before my 'urgent referral' - so it's great you've been seen so quickly!
Yes it's VERY normal to have an ultrasound, and a biopsy, on any sort of lump - just so they can be extra, extra, extra sure and confirm what they already know. Mine was so big I had to have surgery to remove it. Again, normal, but in the midst of HA it felt gut-wrencing / terrifying / potentially life-ending! Rest-assured you'll be fine and your cyst will shrink down soon - let us know how the ultrasound went!

Hi, sorry for the slow reply I had a couple. Of weeks off the forum to try and help my anxiety!
The ultrasound went well, the doctor who done it said it was just a cyst and it could shrink on its own or I may need surgery.
I have a follow up call with the ENT tomorrow, this was scheduled before the ultrasound so I've been waiting for about 3 weeks for it now, I was fine up until today, now I'm anxious and worried that the ent will say he has bad news. I keep thinking the doctor who done the ultrasound may have just been saying it wasn't bad so I didn't worry, but if it was bad wouldn't they of got in contact with me sooner? It's been over 2 weeks since the ultrasound now. Is the follow up call normal procedure?
ShaunRyder
12-05-21, 20:36
Is a follow up call normal? Even if the doctor at the ultrasound said it was just a cyst? Worried they may have found something else or the ultrasound doctor was just trying to make me stay calm as he saw something sinister.
I've always had a follow up appointment for thyroid biopsies/ ultrasound.
I think you are catastrophising, Shaun?

Yes you were right, I was thinking the worst! Had the call earlier and he said ultrasound confirmed it was a cyst and all lymph nodes surrounding were normal, said he will call back in 6 months to discuss me potentially having it removed.
I've just got off the phone to a local mental health charity that my gp recommended me and they are setting up a phone appointment with me soon to discuss my anxiety and see about maybe CBT or counselling.
That's very good news, Shaun. I'm sure that you're very relieved!
It's a good move to get some help for your anxiety now..I hope you don't have to wait too long to get treatment.
ShaunRyder
15-12-21, 13:42
So it's been quite a few months since I've even thought about this cyst in my neck, but tomorrow I am going for my follow up appointment with the ENT. The ultrasound came back fine 6 months ago and the letter read 'non-concerning' and was offered the chance to have it removed but as I was starting a new job we agreed I could just manage it as it was.
I believe this appt is about talking about having it out but my HA has come back massively today and all sorts running through my head, I am worried he will look at it and send me for more urgent tests or he will find something else. Has anyone else had an ENT follow up for something like this and what should I expect?
ShaunRyder
16-12-21, 11:55
Just got back and anxiety is through the roof.
I think he said he is removing me from the urgent list but I’m not sure if he said he is adding me to the urgent list, he said surgery could be march next year. Would that be urgent? I also said I googled and a small chance of cancer and he said any of these could have a small chance of cancer cells and I am not really really panicking and can’t calm down.
But he also said another option was to leave it how it is, if he was worried would he give me that option?
C'mon Shaun...You know what the answers are to your questions. You don't need others to answer that.

16-12-21, 14:09
As my anxiety was so bad I ended up ringing the ENTs secretary, she was very nice and understanding of my anxiety, she wrote a couple of questions down that I forgot to ask during my appointment and is going to email them over and either she or him will ring me back. She looked over my report from my appointment and said nothing indicates anyone was worried about cancer, she said the ENT has put my surgery into 'Priority 3' which is a non urgent category and could wait anywhere between 3 months to a year for surgery. She also said if the ENT was worried about cancer he would have me in a lot quicker than that and for more tests.
She also confirmed it is a thyroglossal duct cyst. I done the worst thing and googled chances of it being or turning into cancer and it says below 1%. But I just cant shake off this anxiety of it being cancerous.
ShaunRyder
16-12-21, 16:37
So the secretary has just called me, she said she has spoken to the ENT about my concerns and he understands my anxiety, he once again said he very very sure there is no cancer in the cyst and all tests looked good. He told me to not to worry, he said he has put it down as urgent, but only because he knows how worried I am and wants to get it sorted for me. He said if he was concerned of cancer he would be having me in for an op ASAP, not waiting 3-6 months.
The secretary has told me to stop worrying and enjoy xmas but I cannot shake this bad feeling off.
I think you were given really good news. If they were at all troubled by it, as you were told, they would be doing things about it now. The fact they said you could leave it as it is shows there is nothing to worry about.
Draw a line under it and work on managing your anxiety. Do all the relaxation techniques you know and keep reassuring yourself there is nothing to worry about.

So it's been a while since I've had any updates regarding my surgery until now, just had a call about a pre assessment before my surgery. I have not had surgery since I was little, so does anyone know what I can expect at a pre assessment?
Thanks.
