Feels like half of my throat is blocked

Posted by greeneyedgirl @greeneyedgirl, Mar 11, 2023

I suffer from anxiety depression hypo thyroid i have been up for two days now I try an swallow just my saliva an it feels like something is blocking my right side of my throat. Have had this quite often when I try an swallow I will push up under my left side on my throat to follow thru a swallow I feel like I need to move something out of the way in my throat when I swallow I hear the licking an like squishy noise if you press in from left side of throat to back of ear. It’s getting the best of my anxiety

@greeneyedgirl, this sounds distressing. I'm not a medical professional and am not trying to diagnose, but I wonder if this is what you're sensing?

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

I’ve read up on that last night I went to a patient first yesterday due to the anxiety getting worse an on day 3 with sleep she thought I had a sinus infection starting gave me Flonase an antibiotic fast forward
I still haven’t slept I cannot get my focus on swallowing it’s driving me nuts it’s only on my right side I push up under my throat an press in to swallow when I let go it feels like whatever is going on just falls right back into the same way an it’s starts all over again been sitting at the r since 5 today they sent a small cup of malox out with two different anxiety pills for to take why sitting in the er waiting well I knew it wasn’t acid an I’m sure sooner or later they will find something out I know there not listening to me or something I told them well maybe do an X-ray or a sonogram an see if you see something I feel like i just want stick a long stick swab down my throat to see if it gets anything on it……an to top it off my anxiety an swallowing is worse wearing these masks still.
