I Am Frustrated

I'm frustrated because the doctor could not find anything on my throat after he looked at the X-ray and Ultrasound. I know there's something stuck in my throat because I can feel it, I was choking this morning while I was taking a shower, I'm so frustrated it, I don't know what else to do.

did they do a barium test showing the flow through the throat as you swallowed to see if there is any problem with the muscle movement of the throat or constrictions?? could also be anxiety that will make the throat tighten up. have you had this problem before??? 😺 trouble sleeping? sweats and chills?? rapid heart beat? sweaty palms? feeling nervous?? 😺

@trackboy None.

@CalmUnderThePalm if its a one time event just have to watch for it again. usally drinking some water clears out any mucus and gets the throat muscles working right. anxiety can strike in your sleep for some reason and the throat will tighten up with anxiety. you have to take note of all the symptoms you have when that happens. also look in the mirror and shine flash light into your mouth and make sure that uvula that hangs down at the back of your mouth is not swollen. 😺

You are doing the obvious in drinking lots of water?

@SW-User I am.

@CalmUnderThePalm Good luck and health then. I'm not a doctor so really don't have further things to say. Maybe, if it persists make another appointment. And if @NeuroticByNature is right there will be other signs if your thyroid is acting up.

Maybe get your thyroid checked
