Hi
On and off since Dec I ahve had a feeling of a lump in the throat, like a pill or something is stuck.
Its becoming more frequent. I had it all day Fri, Sat and sun absolutely nothing on Mon, then I had it all day yesterday and now today :-(
I am trying to think of logical reasons for this. It started a few weeks after I started taking Fluoxetine so I thought maybe I wsnt taking enough water with the pill but now I drink loads with it.
I also seem to have a lot of mucus that drips to the back of my throat and I cant bring it forward to get rid of it so end up swollowing it - this is almost constant.
I am trying to be postive but my mind is telling mr its cancer and threre must be an actual lump. I am scared to discuss this with the dr as I have a fear of anything be put down my throat incase im sick - im emtophobic.
Anyone else have this. I know it can also be caused by anxiety but I have suffered for Health anxiety for years and have never had this.
Thanks for reading.
