Brief Answer:
Neck swelling

Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note the troublesome symptoms.

Perhaps and Ultrasound examination of the neck would be a good start with possible consideration of an X ray of the upper chest and neck area.

The most important thing is to checked out in-person for a correct diagnosis to be made.

Sometimes thyroid swelling in that area can affect breathing
