Hi friends, I having been having this pressure and discomfort in my throat for the past 6months now. The symptoms I have which includes a very strong pressure in my throat,general body weakness and pains,from my back to my head,my arms and elbow,chest pain..I feel tired all the time without doing any job,i can't sit down and be looking down wards because of the painful and heaviness pressure on my neck. Fainting feelings And once I eat any food I get to constantly force my self to belch. I do not feel pain but a slight feeling if I get to touch my throat area(esophageal area)

Really before I was driving myself crazy thinking that I am about to die..all my mind was that I have cancer,even when I saw a doctor he said I have ulcer and gave me antacid and some other drugs but I had to go back when It became more serious,they said it is GERD and gave me antibiotics and omeprazole . But upon all this drugs still yet it has become worst. Last week I had serious pains and throat pressure and I was having chest pains and my heart was popping so fast that I thought this is the end of it. The worst is nobody seems to understand what's happening to me. I have to start searching on the internet to see if there is a way I could really see a way out of this ailment. I saw thyroid and that it has a cure. seriously I don't think I could be able to live with this because all my daily activities are in jeopardy..this sickness has ruined my life,it is better I have malaria than this. I am seriously in deep depression and my anxiety level is 99%. I have a one year old son and we cannot make ends meet let alone money for drugs . I am just fed up and tired. I am hoping to go to hospital probably before the weeks runs out. Please Help me out on this issue if you find a cure to it

    Thyroid does not give you symptoms like the ones you are describing....have you been checked for nodules ? Acid reflux.....? problems with your esophagus, ulcer. Do you have problems swallowing ? Go and see a throat specialist...there are a lot of tests they can do.

    You may want to research parathyroid instead of thyroid because your symptoms are exactly as mine are and I have learned a lot from online forums from other people dealing with the same frustrations as we are. Facebook has a great forum under parathyroid community. You will be surprised. May be a start to push you into right direction and hopefully get to feeling back to normal. Hope this helps some.
