Ive had a problem swalowing for around 5 months now and I feel like something is stuck in my throat or something and when I do swallow I start to feel sick, I won’t go to the doctors as I am scared to death to know my results! I’ve been told By my mum and partner that there is nothing wrong with me but I am scared to death to go in case it is something bad. I have looked up online and it said it could be global sensation but I am not to see 😕 what should I do??

    Do you suffer from anxiety?

    Do you ever get pain when you swallow?

    Does food ever get stuck when you swallow?

    How old are you?

      Are you sure it’s nothing else? As I don’t want to keep worrying that’s it’s sometimg bad ,should I still go to the doctors or just leave it?

      okay, I hope you are right I get told I’m a hypochondriac all the time because literally any little thing like even a dot or anything on my skin I always think I’m dying 😂😂 but I will take your word for it 😊 , do you know when it’ll go?

    If you don't see a doctor and is not diagnosed how will you know what you're dealing with? Sticking our heads in the sand does not make it go away! Please see a doctor.

      I hope it’s nothing to worry about, I’m also getting a lot of salvia and it’s not nice but I’m pregnant and I’ve looked up that you produce a lot more saliva when your pregnant.

      HI , I went to see the doctor and she Sao did there is nothing wrong with me and that I’m just over thinking about a lump being there when there really isn’t. She checked my throat and said I had a healthy throat & not to worry about it.

      Hi Renee

      I feel that doctors don't know how to deal with anything that they can't find medical evidence for. But it is real to you. I strongly suggest going to see a physiotherapist or similar who may be able to identify the muscles probably causing the feeling in your throat. Self management will be key.

      Let me know how you get on.

      Sheila
