Hiya I've been back again to the doctors about this but they keep going back to my anxiety I know they think that's what it is but I don't agree I have a on and off sore throat one sides for ages , on and off hoarseness , when I lie down it feels like my throat is closing up , I clear my throat quite often , and on the side where my throat hurts I have random sharp pains in my ear .i do butp quite often and my food often feels like its not going down very well like its sat at the bottom pf my throat .i do smoke but in the last month have switched to electronic cigarettes any advice on what could help or what it could be ? I know I'm obsessed about this at the moment as when I don't think about it I almost don't notice it x
