Something stuck in my throat

For the last few days I have felt like there is something stuck in my windpipe, it's not painful or anything, the only thing that's painful is it's like a burning sensation in my neck,I have also  had a really bad cough for a few months and when I cough am sure I can taste blood  or a metallic taste in my mouth my doctor is sending me for bloods as I have a thyroid problem she said if that comes back fine she's going to refer me to see a neck and throat specialist, am so worried that it could be something more serious, I guess it's not helping goggling things 

  • Hi Chazy86,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you've seen your GP about this and that there are some next steps in place.

    The best thing is to avoid Googling as it's rarely helpful and the information is often irrelevant and only increases worry. Try to sit tight and wait for your appointments - and in the meantime it often helps to keep busy where possible to help keep your mind off things.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi! 
    Ive been having the same metallic taste when I cough but no visible blood?! I have a swollen tonsil with white patches on it. Doctors fobbed me off with hay fever tablets ..

    how did you get on?!
