What Causes A Sore Lump On The Neck And Difficulty While Swallowing?

Hello i have been having issues in my throat. it has become painful for me to swallow and this stated about 3 months ago. this pain would come and go. recently it came back and it really was painful. I went to the er and they did a cat scan on my neck and said that there is a nodule there and i needed to go see my doctor for more test. The lump at times will get really sore my neck and chest area will get sore. i have night sweats not all the time but ive been having them. It always feels like something is stuck in my throat. i tend to get horse alot and find myself having to clear my throat alot. sometimes i feel really tired and sluggish. i have an appointment next week with a doctor but this is really bothering me. can you possibly tell me what might be going on with me??

Hi
Your symptoms are pointing towards a thyroid disorder probably goitre.Sore chest area,tiredness and night sweat at times further points to a hyperthyroidism.Pain and difficulty swallowing tells us that the lump is already pressing on your oesophagus.You will need thyroid work-up like T3, T4 and TSH to confirm diagnosis when you meet your doctor.Just remain positive and do not wear yourself down in thoughts.I have had a number of cases with good outcome.
stay blessed
