Hi guys,
im hoping that someone can relate to what I'm going through. I lost my mum a month ago to lung cancer and since she's been gone, I've been having issues with my throat. I've been to the GP 3 times now.
ive been experiencing the feeling of having a lump in my throat (but with no physical lump). I've been getting a bit of a dull pain just above my Adam's apple, my glands are slightly raised and I'm burping and bringing up a bit of food/liquid after eating. My first thought was acid reflux, but I don't get any heartburn at all, which concerns me.
The GP has had me in omeprazole for a while now But it doesn't seem to have done anything. The reason I'm writing here is because I wonder if this could be anxiety related after losing my mum. Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm since losing mum, I'm terrified of getting cancer, and I know how stupid that sounds. I also stupidly went to doctor google, which I know is the worst thing to do, but I find myself in a state. I've had different people say it could be GERD, silent reflux, etc, but wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
it doesn't help that my anxiety is terrible. If I had to say how bad my anxiety was right now between 1-10, it would be a 50
