Noticing Tightness And Swelling Of Throat
Im 14. My throat has been feeling tight and swollen. I had a throat infection but I went to the doctor and they said it was gone. I still feel my throat being tight. I also have noticed that i panic and am anxious. Ii think I worry too much. All of my doctors say Im fine but my throat still feels tight. What is it?

HELLO AND WELCOME TO HEALTH CARE MAGIC.
U SEEM TO HAVE WHAT V CALL AS HYPOCHONDRIASIS. UR THROAT IS VERY FINE. ITS THE MATTER OF THOUGHTS ONLY WHICH IS BOTHERING U. NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT MUCH. TRY TO DO MEDITATION. IF EVEN AFTER THIS U DONT FEEL BETTER, U GO TO AN ENT EXPERT, HE WILL ARRANGE FOR AN ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF UR THROAT. THOUGH IT IS GOING TO BE OK, BUT IT WILL HELP IN MAKING U RELAX.
