What Causes Breathlessness In The Night And Lump Like Feeling In The Throat?
I have difficulty breathing around bed time and through the night. I was given an inhaler which does relieve my breathing but doesn’t identify the cause. I’m active 27 year old and partake in running etc without the problem and tests don’t indicate athsma. I seem to always swallow because I feel a lump /mucus in my throat and clear my throat during the day and more at night. I’ve also had a scan on my chest nothing was shown. It’s getting frustrating and I’m concerned.
Hello, Feeling of lump in the throat could be due to chronic pharyngitis,gastroesophageal reflux disease,thyroiditis,tumors in throat and anxiety.One of the most common cause is anxiety itself(globus pharyngeus).This condition is diagnosed by excluding other causes of lump in the throat.Examination of throat by a specialist helps to rule out other conditions.The treatment of globus pharyngeus involves reassurance and psychiatry councelling. Thank you
