~I can't catch a break lol~
So, I have had this annoying sensation in my throat since April 3rd. It is a sensation of tightness, a lump, and I can't pinpoint where exactly in my throat it is. Doesn't affect eating or drinking, in-fact both take my mind off of it. Talking for longer than 2 min makes my throat a bit irritated, and sometimes I just get a random sandpaper throat.
Some days it is worse than others, and of course when my mind jumps to "what if it's something sinister", it makes it worse (until I calm myself down and be rational anyway.) In fact, I went to ER on April the 6th because I thought my throat was closing and the doctor checked my lymph nodes etc and said I seemed fine.
After really paying attention to my body and how I feel, I know I am stressed on a subconscious level. I feel fine but my body is stressed. I get a racing heart at times for no reason, I have horrid acid reflux at the minute which I constantly feel burning up my throat, and it all comes down to the really bad breakup I had in late march along with health anxiety flare ups.
It is driving me NUTS. I know it isn't anything sinister, but my mind says 'let's get a doctors opinion, because then I will calm down and it'll go away' but I REALLY do not want a camera stuck down my throat. :(
Any advice? Go to the doctors or just wait it out for maybe another couple of weeks while I meditate and keep going to yoga? :shrug:
