Why Do I Feel As If There Is Something In The Back Of My Throat?
I feel like there is something in the back of my throat/tongue on my left side only. I know its not a tonsil stone because i ve had them several times and it doesn t feel the same. I don t think it is GERD because i do not have indigestion. It just feels like there is something back there. I ve been gargling with listerine and salt water and it still feels the same. It does not hurt. I do not feel sick. It is just VERY annoying. Is this something I should be concerned about or see a doctor for?

Hi.
This looks to be Globus Pharyngeus..
This is confirmed by negative ENT Endoscopy. Either you get nothing or may get lymphoid hyperplasia on one side only as you have noted the area of affection.
Then a course of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medicines along with drugs to relieve the stress and anxiety help a lot.
Get an ENT Opinion and Endoscopy and appropriate treatment
