Hi..
I know what you mean about the lump in the throat. I can feel a constant lump in my throat, iv no idea what it is but as disgusting as it sounds it feels like phlegm and im constantly coughing to clear it and sometimes cant swallow properly, which causes me to panic and i tend to try and swallow one after the other.
I find it hard to breathe naturally, i constantly feel like im struggling for air all the time and im breatheless dead easily. I dont go anywhere out my comfort zone and i feel so lucky to live a few doors away from the doctors, when they closed at the weekend im always on edge.
So i know exactly where you coming from, im house bound with it.
