What Causes Recurrent Discomfort And Chocking Sensation In Throat?

I am a 32 year old woman, I work full time and have an 11 year old daughter. I have been having progressively worsening throat discomfort. it started out a couple years ago, it felt like there was food or something stuck in my throat. I figured it was nothing, but it s been getting worse over the last 2 years. when I talk too long or too loudly it seems to make it more obvious, or if I drink hot drinks or eat rough feeling foods(such as chips or raw veggies, baked breads, etc.). It feels like something is in my throat, I can t swallow it away and my glands feel sore and swollen. now my throat seems to be sore a lot. I think part of the problem is seasonal allergies, but the feeling that something is stuck in there and the tenderness when i push on my neck area causes me some concern, especially since it has gotten gradually worse and has been present for 2 years. It doesn t go away, but as I said it does seem to be worse after loud talking or for long periods of talking or after eating or drinking certain foods

Hi,

You need to check your throat with an E.N.T doc. in the first place , as you may need to do an MRI to your neck to see if there is an organic lesion or not.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
