Afraid this is either rabies or cancer. I知 not sure which.
Afraid I知 getting either rabies or cancer I知 not sure which. For the last 3 days, my throat has felt tight and I致e had difficulty swallowing. I can still eat and drink but sometimes it takes effort, it almost feels like a throat spasm. The only other thing I could think of that could cause it would be my acid reflux. The other night I woke up with stomach acid in my throat and it backed up into my nose. It may have irritated the esophagus but this was 3 days ago. Knowing me I always assume the worst though.

Why in the world would you think rabies?! Your odds of contracting rabies in the US is around 1 in 300 million.

Hows the diet and exercise coming along? Making any progress on addressing your cholesterol/weight?

Sounds like a classic anxiety symptom to me. Sorry you are struggling. Take heart

Symptoms definitely match rabbies symptoms. You were bitten by fox or racoon recently right?

NO IT IS NOT!
Why are you writing this? Are you trying to feed his fear even more? Remember that this is a forum for people with anxiety about health; this is not reddit.
And if the OP had terminal rabies he would not be able to sit and type it on his computer. Please delete your post. It is not "perfectly matching" rabies. It is perfectly matching ACID REFLUX which I myself has lived with for more than 20 years. And yes; they do cause painful throat sensations; particulary at night.

You seriously can't recognize sarcasm in my post? It is painfully obvious cmon.
And I know what this forum is about as I too have HA but sometimes making fun of fears is much more beneficial than constant reassurance.
People, myself included need to realize how unrealistic their thinking is.
