Hi I am looking for some advice? I have had pain in my larynx area and sometimes my ears which comes and goes every day I am terrified of throat cancer and not coping I do have chronic anxiety and this has lasted 5 months. I went to the doctor when it first started and they thought it was due to anxiety but it's still happening and I am to scared to go back do to my fear can you tell me some of your symptoms? And going crazy

Hello 

I see you have written this question to another member but I thought I would get back to you because it has been a few months since this thread was last active and it seems you are really worried.

I'm afraid no one on the forum is able to diagnose you or tell you what the matter is and comparing your situation to others is unlikely to be all that helpful to you. It appears you have posted quite a few times over the past couple of months and are really anxious that something serious could be the matter.

The best thing you can do is to speak to your doctor again. It doesn't sound like they are too concerned but if symptoms are ongoing they may be able to arrange some further tests to put your mind at ease, so do talk to them when you get a chance.

Looking at another of you recent posts you told us you recently started a new medication and hopefully these will kick in soon and will help you to feel better about things. Be patient though, it can take a good couple of weeks to get into your system. In the meantime try and avoid looking things up online as this will make you worry more, instead try and keep yourself busy and your mind on other things. AnxietyUK here and MindUK here also have some good information and advice to help you manage your thoughts and feelings about your health.

Take care
