Throat Issues

Hi-

Ive suffered with choking sensation, throat closing, tight throat, something stuck in my throat for about 3 months now. 

I have visited the doctors so many times, they said it was silent reflux which i took omeprazole for a month (didnt work), they then said it was globus sensation...i really believe its something more serious. They have refused to send me to ENT because of coronavirus but i rang the doctor again and they said they are reffering me to ENT and hopefully be seen asap. Im really paniking, im genuinly struggling so much, i cant sleep, eat do anything. Im 21 years old also and i am so scared that its cancer. 

 

Can anyone help? Thanks

    Hi-

    i have been referred but they said they will contact me with an appointment so hopefully they will contact soon. Good news though- my throat problem is a lot better so I have a very strong feeling it was/is to do with anxiety as I suffer very badly. I know that if it was cancer it wouldn't get 'better' it would be constant and get worse. So I believe everything will be okay. I don't have any problems swallowing or eating so that's a plus also! Anxiety can come through in many many ways and mines comes physically unfourtunatly! I hope your okay and let me
