Hi 

i am 43 year old male, dont drink or smoke , quite fit go to gym 3 times a week, but suffer from really bad anxiety.

for around 3 months i have has a sore throat on right side, also right ear felt weird, this would only lass a few hours then i was fine, it would come and go i might not have it for 5 days then it would come back for a few hours then go away again, so i never thought anything of it. but on saturday 24th it came back and its constatly there, so now i think i have throat cancer, i went to doctors yesterday, he checked my throat with his hand s and looked it my mouth and told me everything looked fine. and sent me home, didnt know what it could be.

one think i read online working with metal working fluids may give throat cancer, which i do in my job, this is the bit thats probably kicked my anxiety off.

my symtoms are sore throat on right side slightly feel dry, that sometimes goes up into right ear, the pain feels like a 2 out of 10, my ear feels like when you get water in your ear after shower.

i can swallow ok and it feels ok to eat

i tried paracemtol but didnt make any differance.

i think my anxiety is making problem alot worse because i am constatly thinking about it every second of the day. and cannot sllep thinking about it

i am really panicking about it and think i going to die, cannot cope feels like  i going mad.

thanks
