Question 1

i having trouble swallow at times and  a lump ?

Accepted Answer

Commonly harmless: The sensation of a lump in the throat and occasional difficulty  swallowing is most commonly harmless, with benign causes including gerd (acid reflux, treated with anti-reflux meds), and anxiety/stress. Much less commonly, this can signify a tumor growth in the throat, which an ENT doctor can rule out with a flexible scope.

Accepted Answer

Swelling feels funny: At your age most likely globus hystericus.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

: We call this Globus sensation. It is often not concerning and associated with anxiety.It can come from GERD. See your doctor

Question 7

Neck mass: This sounds like something that should be evaluated by your doctor.

Question 8

how to know if a lump on ur neck is dangerous or not. ive had this lump on my neck (middle of neck, front left side) for a year now (i only noticed this a year ago but im pretty sure its been there ever since). it moves up and down when i swallow?

Accepted Answer

: From your description, I think that lump is a thyroid nodule or goiter. You should see a doctor for a thorough evaluation.

Question 9

when ii swallow i fell like there is something that blocks my throat,out of curiosity,i touch the inside of it & feell lumps in it.what s the reason?

Accepted Answer

Throat: The bumps are probably your taste buds or circumvallate papilla. If you are not sick at this moment, could be dehydration or a sign of acid reflux, less likely thyroid enlargement.

Question 10

ive had an immovable small(?) lump on middle of neck since aug. its longish and at the top end its round if that makes sense. dull pain in that area when i yawn/burp/swallow sometimes. i got blood tests and they said it was fine. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: Blood tests alone may not be enough and US or CT of the neck may be indicated. However, if the lump does not evolve (change in shape and size) in 4 months the lesion, if present, is likely benign.
