What Causes Trouble For Swallowing And Breathing With Dizziness?

For almost a month, I have had problems following stomach flu I had on March 24th. Recently they have been very bad. My throat feels very tight, sometimes it feels like there is a lump it, and I have trouble swallowing and sometimes breathing. I also feel very dizzy and faint. Sometimes I feel pressure in my face/cheekbones. What could this be? I have been to the doctor, and my labwork is fine and they did not see anything, and I am supposed to be getting a scope, but dont have the money at this time.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.

Since your reports are normal, i would like to suggest that -
Sometimes a feeling of lump in the throat can be felt by many individuals but mostly it is psychological , also known as Globus Hystericus.

Kindly relax dont worry . It is mostly a psychological feeling due to previous illness.
Kindly divert your mind wih relaxation techniques.

Hope this answers your query .
Regards Dr.Riyanka
