ive posted alot recently. im struggling with my anxiety...starting therapy next week but im struggling to shrug it off. for months now my throat near my glands under my jaw feels dry/sore after ive been talking. its really getting me down. ive been to doctors who said i have a slightly infected throat, due to a sore throat i had few weeks ago not fulling clearing up...ive been on antibiotics since yesterday. but the feeling in my throat has been there way before my sore throat. it gets worse on a night and seems to only be on the left side!! i can feel it straining or like a pulling feeling when talking...its like im straining to talk. i have other things too. i burp alot!! due to feeling of fullness in chest/throat almost like a lump is there. GP says i have post nasal drip (taking spray for this) im having a stool sample done for GERD which is a possibility but my throat is really getting me down!! its like when youve been shouting for a while and your voice feels strained but ive hardly been talking today and i dont shout or anything. anyone else had the same? honestly im loosing my mind with this.
You said you burp a lot. Without realizing it, you are probably bringing up stomach acid and it’s likely irritating your throat.
yeah i do alot! its like i do it to clear my throat.
I did it all the time when I had anxiety too. I don’t even know why! Like you, I had terrible heart burn and it eventually burned my throat.
i cant seem to get rid of it! inside of my mouth even has red patches now…im not understanding it at all. even my taste buds back of my throat are slightly more raised then usually! too fairly big ones. its really getting me down. making me think there is something much sinister going on. i just want to feel normal again. my throat on left side seems to get worse as the day goes on. its not unbearable and doesnt hurt when i swallow its more of a ache/sore feeling back of tongue. glands are still slightly swollen too. if antibiotics do nothing ill be going back to see my GP. im due to see dentist that will likley know more. one tonsil is abit bigger then the other but im not sure if its always been like that. doctor didnt mention tonsils when i went. its the phlegm feeling too back of my throat that really bugs me. always needing to clear my throat.
dont worry jus calm down be positive try and relax yourself im also a anxietyer myself but theres no medicine or anything but our will and nothing is more strong than us jus be strong this is the only thing that i can say youll b fine jus b positive
