Yawning throat pain

Hi this my first time posting on this, my concern is since September of last year I've been getting a pain in throat but it's only really when I yawn. I've been to doctors many times and after numerous visits to doctors they revered me to hospital where I had barriumn swallow and results came back fine. I have the pain mostly on my left side of throat but it does feel like the central part of my throat as well.

  • Hello Klyekk,

    I am sorry to hear you have had this pain in your throat whenever you yawn. It's good news that the doctors ordered some tests and that the results have come back fine. If the pain is persisting though, I think it might be worth going back to the doctor's or asking to see a different doctor just to get a second opinion and asking whether there is anything they can advise or suggest to ease this pain. Make sure you mention you have had this pain since September.

    Let us know how you get on if you can after you have seen the doctor. I hope it all goes well and that this discomfort when yawning goes away soon.

    Best wishes,

  • I have the same problem now. How you feeling now. I haven’t consulted doctors yet.. 

  • Hi I've had testicular cancer in 2009 and was cleared of it. The last week I've started getting a pain in my throat when I yawn. Should I consult a doctor if I can get an appointment ? Thanks 

  • Hi,

    I've had various tests for this over the last 3 years. Gastroscopy and nasenoscopy. Nothing major found. 

    I've pushed and pushed for a thyroid scan and at last I'm in the system. I'd say its worth going back to go.
