I have something moving inside my throat

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi there , I have been suffering of throat discomfort including my upper chest.

i can eat, swallow, sleep.

I am not sure how to describe this but its really bothering me for almost a month.

when i placed my 4 fingers on my left side of my neck, i can feel the movement of something , but not sure what it was.

and it goes on and off.

I thought i had heart burn. took medication for 3 days and it didn't go away.

anyone ever experience this ?

Please share.

Thank you

    Hi Donnawong15: Sorry to hear you are having this issue.I have done a little research and found that there are many organs and glands in the neck. If a person is exposed to a virus, their immune system will respond. This can cause Lymph Nodes to enlarge. And the more you push on them, the more enlarged they could become.

    There is also the thyroid in the neck. It can also become enlarged.

    If anything has been enlarged for 30 days or more, then you should have it checked out be a doctor. Just to be on the safe side. take care, John

    It could be mucus dripping down your throat. Reflux can cause all kinds of strange sensations in the head and neck area.
