Check your thyroid: Interestingly, the throat lump could be a thyroid problem, a gland in your neck, in front of your voice box sitting like a bow tie . It can produce nodules or lumps that secrete excess thyroid hormone, causing hyperthyroidism. Some of the major symptoms of hyperthyroidism are: anxiety- like states with tremors, sweating, nervousness w/out cause, diarrhea, weight loss, muscle tension. See your md.
