Hello all,

Have not been on here for a while as I've actually been ill! How ironic. Fortunately the GP is taking these particular problems seriously (they're 'lady problems'), although me being me I still worry that it's cancer and I'm going to die a hideous death.

Anyway, moving on.

For the past few days I've had a feeling of tightness in my throat. I've had a lump sensation before, and have accepted it as globus hystericus, but this is different. It's only on one side, and seems to make my breathing slightly difficult. I'm really hoping it's just anxiety and muscle tension, but I'm really worried that it might be the Big C or something more sinister.

How long should I wait before I pester my GP about this? I can swallow fine, and exercise without getting breathless, but it feels like there's an obstruction on one side that is bothering my airway.

I would appreciate any advice

Thanks all,

Anna. x
