Does Lump In Throat Indicate Thyroid Problems?

One Dr. thought I had a lump on the left side of throat, the other Dr I saw said He did not think it was a lump. I have put on about 10Lbs in the last year. The last Dr. wanted me to have blood tests, but I didn't. Should I reconsided going to have the blood tests. He thinks it might be my Thyroid? Even though I have been eating more with not alot of exercise.
