A member asked:
Felt globus in throat from stress. it went away but now i'm feeling sick. is this related to tumor/cancer? or just a cold?

Tumor/cancer - NO!: There is absolutely no need to scare the pants of yourself - even a cold might be too severe a guess. But if you can't shake the worry, do have an exam - but learn from it! Ask how to gauge symptoms and about probabilities of causes for people your age and general condition. Don't panic by making extreme guesses. Pain from tumors doesn't come and go. It stays and grows. Rest, drink water, gargle.
