hello everyone,
hope someone replies as noone did to my last one:shrug:

as ever, with h.a., its a different worry every day! i went to the docs two days ago as i was having a sore throat. he confirmed it was due to my smoking so am quitting. but my prob is i stupidly looked in my throat today as it was still sore and noticed that one tonsil was bigger and a lumpier shape than the other. now my rational mind tells me that the doc would have said if he was at all concerned. i do have faith in him and he is well recommended. but i cant shake the thought that he may have not looked properly (even tho he had a torch and was standing right over me!). does anyone else have tonsils that dont look the same. this h.a. drives me mad. hav had it for nearly 5 years. i know all the tips and tricks to calm it but my negative thoughts are always more powerful and overtake me. grrrrrrrr.

anyway, any help would be appreciated.

thank u.

Pretty much every area of a normal body is asymmetrical.
In regards to the tonsils, yes mine are very asymmetrical. On my left side there's basically nothing there, while the right one is quite big.
