Hi guys,
I really need help! I'm stressing myself out bigtime here. I have this horrid feeling in my throat. It started off 3 months ago (there abouts) just as a little niggle, nothing really to worry about, I kind of forgot about it until a couple of days later it returned. Now it's the bain of my life and that ain't no lie. I have been back to my GP so many times; however on the last appointment I couldn't see my usual doc and ended up with this **** that called me neurotic! I mean nice huh! He can read all my notes and see I have been referred for CBT but he still calls me that! I think a letter of complaint is on it's way to the practice.
Anyway I had to typical, clssic signs and symptoms of Globus sensation which too me to the quacks the first time, second time I wanted a referral to ENT which I got (appointment is 9th July) and was checked for Thyroid and a FBC taken. I'm so worried as the 'classic' symptoms have vanished and I have this feeling/lump/debris/foreign object only on the right side of my throat and it feels like it goes down into my chest. I had a panic attack over this yesterday and the day before I called NHS direct and said I feel like I'm choking. They made an appoinment with the local on call doctor at my hospital and guess what....... nothing was found. I wanted an x-ray but they refused :-( I am wondering whether to go to A&E this morning or not?
It feels huge, feels like something is growing there, it's worrying me so much. I don't start my new job until the 21st June so I have another week of 'thinking' and 'googling' time. I'm a Dental Nurse and will be starting in the Maxilofacial unit. So being a Dental Nurse should know better! AAfter all I have been doing it for 10 years, have seen oral cancer; however it doesn't stop me from thinking WTF is going on in my throat/chest. It feels so heavy today - like I'm really struggling to breathe? I can't bare it anymore. I just want it to go. I feel sick. Anybody suffer with this? Globus on one side? Please help!!
