What Causes Lump In Throat With Anxiety And Pain In Chest?

Hello. I am eighteen years old and discovered a lump in my throat visible from the outside that appears to be connected to my adam s apple about two weeks ago. Last weekend I experienced some rather weird symptoms consisting of confusion, off set balance, and anxiety. Now, it feels as if there is something stuck in my throat making it hard for me to swallow and the middle of my chest hurts when I take a deep breath. Im afraid I have throat cancer. What are the other possibilities, or how should I persue this problem?

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Globus pharyngeus-with GERD.Hurting chest confirms reflux acidity with GERD.Anxiety could be due to the toxic Goiter at the teening age.
This tumour in the throat is not Cancerous / and the one felt by you with hurting chest is not related to the swelling on adams' apple of yours.
You should check with Ent Surgeon and Physician to check out other possibilities,who would rule out the many possibilities and would fix the treatment according to the proved cause of your swallowing difficulty with swelling in the throat.
USG/ FNAC Biospy and Thyroid CT with Second opinion from Ent Surgeon would fix the cause of this lump.

Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
