View 1 RepliesI have had a globus sensation that comes and goes. Weird things have been happening since the beginning of the the year. It all started after a took some rounds of antibiotics. My neck started feeling tight around the sides. It started getting worse and after a few months, It got so tight that I went to the ER twice cause I thought I was dying. I have had lots of tests but there are more to do. Ive had 2 barium swallows( one looking for abnormal blockage and on for a hernia), xrays, thyroid blood work, pepsin tests, and 3 scopes, everything came out fine. Ive been to several ENTs and nothing unusual showed up. The specialist assured me its not cancer.
I still haven't done a ph test and haven't had my esophagus scoped, just my throat which has cobblestones in it and also appears swollen at the voicebox.Ive tried reflux medicines on and off during these periods, i was on protonix for a month with no improvement, the doctor did say to stay on it for 3 months but it make me feel nauseous. Perhaps the worst symptom is I have had a sore throat going on 6 months now.
Does anyone with silent reflux also have globus and a chronic sore throat?
for a few weeks now I've felt like I've had a lump in my throat? thought was tonsils but feels.too far bask...put fingers back there to see if I could feel anything and seem to have felt my epiglottis? I can always feel it now at the moment. The only time I feel like it's gone is when I'm Eating or drinking!
View 1 RepliesI Have been suffering with my throat since i've suffered with anxiety for the past its very sore as well as the stuck feeling the docs saying it is globus hystericus but i need to know does anyone else get sore throats with it
View 2 RepliesI have been suffering with discomfort on one side of my neck more than the other. From reading other peoples experiences they describe more of a central feeling. My doctor thinks I have got globus and has referred me for ENT checks. I am convinced that I have a tumour in my throat and the fear is making the symptoms worse.
View 1 RepliesAbout 2 years ago i got a slight sore throat at one side hot flashes( my temp was normal as i checked) and burning sensation on my palms it last about 3 weeks and went away after these symptoms , i got shortness of breath for one day and dr said i have high blood pressure.
Now my problem : after this happening i catch same symptoms ( slight sore throat - burning sensation in palms and hot flashes) like clockwork each month or every 2 months that last less than 1 a week . and these 3 symptoms are always together) i know it's like the common cold or flu but it is not coz when i catch a cold i have different feelings.
idk what's wrong with me ? and what's that a new virus or bacteria , neurological involvement?
i am 32 male, i had lots of unsafe sex, i started getting pain in my penis, i had std test but its negative, i took some medicine for 3 days, i was ok for 2 weeks i had sex again, and the pain started again, as i can't swallow i chew the tablets and open the capsules, i also got very sore throat for over 2 months now, i feel very pain difficulty in eating and drinking i feel lots of phlegm and saliva in my mouth, i had endoscopy doctor said it's acid reflux but i am so stressed i can't work i can't walk for long. is it hiv or something else?
View 1 RepliesI have sore throat for around 6 months. I think it all started with some sort of allergy because I would only have it when I was at home, generally any dust would make it worse. I moved out and my throat stopped being so sore but its still bad.. I feel like it is very sensitive. I also feel like saliva/mucus is licking down the throat.. Sometimes it has a bad (sort of rotten.. taste) It gets worse if I drink something cold or hot or when I go outside when its cold (Because I only breath through my mouth). My doctor thought its post nasal dripping so she gave me some steroid drops, didn't help much. Now she thinks its a Glandular fever.. I don't have any other symptoms apart from sore throat, and mucus going down it. The only other thing is that my lymph nodes in neck feel a bit tender. Also sometimes I feel like im producing way too much saliva.Few times there was some white stuff on sides of my throat. And also rarely get some small difficulties with swallowing but I think this might be just caused by super stress that im going through... I am non-smoking person.
View 1 RepliesMy tonsils have been swollen for over a month, until last week they were painless, but now I have flu symptoms. Its quite scary, it affects my swallowing and I have a very very dry mouth, even when I drink loads of water all day. Hasn't affected my breathing as of yet, but feels like a lump in my throat is blocking it off.
This has been going for three days now.
Doctor said I need a blood test for glandular fever, which is next week.
I mentioned that I think I can feel my epiglottis swollen, and she laughed and said that is all the way down by my adam's apple and would have a job feeling that... even though i've seen many cases online where it's visible above the tongue and often can be felt.
I am asian male, 28years old. Today is March 13th.
About a month ago(early Feb), I started to have a lump feeling/sensation in my throat and a couple of days later , on one day, it became so severe that I had difficulty swallowing, even saliva. However, a couple days later it became better and almost unnoticeable. I thought it was due to anxiety, cause i searched "lump sensation in throat" and I got "Globus Sensation".
However, about 10 days ago. The same lump in throat feeling came back. This time it was milder, no pain, not itchy, but just feeling something stuck in my throat and its moves from day to day. One day it could slightly to the left, next day could be slightly on the right. I took pictures and saw one or two 3-5mm diameter lump/pus grow on the back of my throat. I immediately went to my primary doctor, who did not take it seriously and said it might be allergy and only saw some redness in my throat and it would clear up on its own. After It persisted for over a week, I went to ENT who did a throat culture. Today I got a call from ENT doctor saying that I have strep throat.(not sure which type). And I started taking Amox just now.
I am worried about it has anything to do with STD because I had a stupid exposure with a SW about 2 months ago(Jan. 7th, unprotected oral and protected vaginal, but I didn't give her oral, I only received for 1min or 2, but my lips did touch her lips slightly twice, but definitely no saliva exchange.) I did
1. urine tests for chlamydia and gono 7 days after the event. (both negative)
2. syphilis rpr tests, one at 4th week, another one at 8th week after the event.(both not reactive)
3. HIV pcr RNA test at 25 days after the event (not detected)
4. did not have any skin condition, such as rash, ulcer, sore, blisters, or canker in the genital area, and checked and confirmed by a dermatologist recently.
So, my questions
1. The only symptom I have is "lump feeling/sensation in throat, not painful but annoying" and recently some dry cough at night and dry throat. Other than that, no pain, no fever, no headache. I wonder besides strep throat, could there be anything else, too? mono, oropharyngeal cancer by HPV? I guess because I did not give her oral, it shouldn't be oral gono, right? I remember having cold sore when I was a child (6years old). Could the lump in the back of throat be any kind of herpes? possibly herpes type1.
2. If the first outbreak 1month ago was also strep throat and I just started the treatment. Could I possibly get post strep disorders or complications, such as rheumatic fever, kidney inflammation etc. by now or later in the future. Do I need to get checked out.
3. Why symptoms of Strep is much milder than described on the internet? due to the fact I am adult?
sore throat,fatigue, pain, no diagnosis Posted 10 minutes ago I'm sorry for the long post but I really need some help. I am 25 years old,female from Bulgaria. Everything started after 2 shots of progesterone done by my gyno. I had high prolactin levels and somewhat low progesterone and my period stopped so that is why she gave me shots. After the second shot I woke up with very bad pain and burning sensations in my sinuses,my whole body was in pain.And there it all begins.For 2 weeks I wasn't getting better, I had a fever (not very high),sinus pain and sore throat. Finally I visited a ENT doctor,she said that there was nothing wrong with me,everything-ears,nose throat looked fine but I asked for a sinus x-ray-it was also fine. Then my gyno advised me to culture my throat and nose. The results were staphylococcus aureus in nose and Moraxella catarrhalis in throat. I was prescribed cefpodoxime (due to antibiogram) took it for several days and I wasn't feeling any better,then my dr switched me to Cefuroxime,it did help at the beginning,I was feeling better but by the time I was taking my last pill all the symptoms returned. My sinuses didn't hurt anymore but my throat was on fire,muscle and joint pain,feverish feeling but no actual fever this time. So I was put on unasyn (Sultamicillin) on IV drip.I was getting no relief and was just feeling very sick from that med,so we stopped it. The I went to another ENT doctor and he told me there was nothing wrong with me, my throat looked fine and I had a little wound in my nose with blood. I had no runny nose. So I did a culture of my throat again and it happened to be Candida Glabrata ( may be because of all those antibiotics) I also had e.coli in my urine.I took one dose of Fosfomycin for my e.coli and it cleared up and I was put on IV drip again with fluconazole for my candida.I also had candida in my vaginal results. I started to get better on fluconazole but again it lasted 3 days and in the end of the treatment I was ill again. My ears started to hurt very badly,all other symptoms continued.I waited 2 weeks after the last antibiotic and did a nose and throat culture again in two different labs and there was no infection found, I also did a vaginal and urine tests again and the urine was fine, had some enterococcus faecalis but in small amounts from my vag microbiology. My gyno said that it is better to not treat it for now because of all the meds I took for those 2 months. Yes,it's been two months and I am only getting worse, my whole body is in pain,I am very fatigued,have the flu feeling sore throat, ear pain,lymph and joint pain,I feel very very ill. And the tests say nothing. On my blood test the only thing that was abnormal was my AST (antistreptolysin-titer) levels were high 310 (from 200 being the norm).Went to a 3rd ENT,he also said everything looked fine, my ears and throat are not inflamed and he said that it wasn't my ears that hurt but my face joints. So I am here,desperate for ome help, not getting better,not knowing what to do now.I started having very bad panic attacks because I think I am dying and no one can find what is that illness. Can it be some autoimmune response to the progesterone shots? I don't know anymore. It's a struggle to get out of bed really.

View 8 RepliesI was in Brazil last month and had sex with 4 prostitutes on May 12,14 and 24.
I used protection all of those time, and after removing, checked for any tears too, and found none, no slippage as well.
1 week after sex, I had this weird tingling sensation in my throat and acid refluxes starting from June 1.
I immediately saw a doctor who said its just an infection and gave me Hexamidine oral spray. Did not make a lot of difference.
I got tested on June 3 (7 days after the last sex encounter and 18 days the first sex encounter).
All that exists in STD, from gonorrhea to HIV 1/2, and used the 4th gen test methods. Everything was negative.
I was not satisfied with my throat condition, so I saw another doctor (General Physician), he noticed white discoloration of my tongue and said it was tonsillitis, and said I was not drinking enough water, which was true at that moment.
I am a 27 yr old man, now I am not sure whether there are tonsil issues at my age. He did another test on June 10, for fungal infection in blood and that too was negative.
As of now that white tongue issue still exists, with little swelling exactly under the ears, no pain, no fever, no flu and no other gland swollen, just dry throat and tongue.
I am not sure whether, this is a cause of worry for me, I did had oral sex, licked the Vagina, but the girls looked clean.
My question is should i be worried about my throat issue, or its just another normal/regular infection, because the timing of the infection seems to be off and I am worried that this might be oral thrush or something like that.
Also I wanted to ask how accurate these results are for STDs between when I had sex (May 24) and got tested (June 3).
I broke my fibula in late November after falling down a flight of stairs. I had ankle surgery and now have a plate and seven screws. I've been weight-bearing for about 3 to 4 weeks and I've been doing a lot of physical therapy. However, I still have some severe burning/stinging on the inside of my ankle, which is the opposite side of where it was broken. It's gotten worse lately, which may be due to the PT and more use? I still have a lot of swelling (which I think is normal) and I also still have a lot of tightness, particularly around the Achilles. Anyone have any thoughts?

View 1 RepliesI have what feels like a sore throat but further down my throat. It comes and goes but it's more late afternoon when it comes on. I don't want to eat as it feels like my food is stuck or talk because it's so sore but when I wake up it's ok? I went to doctors Last week they reduced my beta blockers because I was so zapped out. I mentioned my throat but he wasn't concerned and barely looked. He seemed miffed that the specialist mentioned I need to be careful about sore throats due to thyroid med and white blood cells. He was annoyed about having a blood test. Dr hasn't rung back so I guess that's ok but is my throat normal problem for overactive thyroid.

View 12 RepliesI am a male of 31 years of age. About 38 days before I had sex with a CSW. It was protected vaginal sex and protected oral sex. Also there were deep throat kissing which lasts almost minute. Since last 3 weeks I have sore throat and mild joint pain. No real fever. Some times during afternoon time temperature raise up to 37.2 degrees centigrade.
The sore throat was mild but was a one point pen like feeling. During disposing phlegm stain of blood coming out. Phlegm was green or yellow in color. I went to doctor and he tested chest X-ray and found no problem.
I tested HIV 3rd Generation antibody test after 19 days of exposure, which came negative.
My questions:
1. Are my symptoms related to ARS?
2. How much possibility to have HIV contraction through deep kissing?
3. What can be the cause of blood in the phlegm?
4. One ENT specialist told me that the partition of nose is little bended. Is there any relation with this and my symptoms?
5. I am feeling little week, but that I think mostly because of anxiety.
6. Is there any significance of my 19 days HIV test result?
I haven't been together with my ex boyfriend for over a year now but everytime we kissed, I would without fail get a sore throat about a day later which would then usually turn into an infection. I thought it might just be something to do with him but this weekend (after not kissing anybody for about 7 months) I kissed this new guy and....2 days later I have an awful sore throat, glands up etc! I'm quite depressed about it as I'm thinking, is this going to happen every time I kiss somebody?
View 1 RepliesI am currently taking prilosec every day and zantac twice daily, but still having problems with a constant sore throat. I am good about avoiding trigger foods and have elevated my bed. I do eat something small before I go to bed because if I don't I can't sleep and become very nauseated. The throat is becoming more and more bothersome and is affecting my speech. I have played with DGL, marshmallow root, slippery elm, etc but trying to remember to swallow all these pills is ridiculous. My sleep is affected greatly because my stomach wakes me up every couple of hours with "hunger pains" that won't allow me to sleep. I know I am not hungry because I eat a very good diet.
