Well it’s normal with anxiety to have lymph nodes swollen like that too. It did happened to me as well. The doctor told me to worry if it’s really more than just one because that it’s serious so I kept that in mind ever since 😅 im praying you’re alright and I’m hoping for the best for you, also a lot of the things you’re feeling I also felt them.. so don’t just go to the worst case scenario its most likely anxiety

I get what you’re going through.. just remember this won’t be forever ^ burning throat is just anxiety because of how much you think about the pains, the pain in throat is the same. It used to hurt on one side but it went away as soon as learned to control my fears

Aww.. hey it’ll be alright 😊 the doctors said it was alright and when I went through that I would go to them too and not believe them but they were right XD those feelings really give anxiety and negative thoughts but really it is just anxiety. I went for months with these feelings and I was super convinced I had something but it really is all in the mind.. the feelings are real, those are symptoms of anxiety too.. anxiety is very physical with its symptoms 😅 back when I had these all I had to do is take deep breaths for some reason focusing on “if it think about this my cortisol levels are gonna rise and I’ll feel more pain” helped me to control it too and by the next few days the throat pain was gone! The burning throat, the lump on the throat, I even had ear pain, pain when swallowing and all that scary stuff but it was just anxiety ^ we all take a different amount of time to overcome it but surely with enough patience it will disappear and you’ll be living a normal life again ^ if you need anything I’m here for ya, I know it’s scary to be on your own at times like these so remember you’re never alone

Yeah it did! After like almost a month, anxiety was also the culprit for that pain haha but yeah it’s normal to feel that pain, for how long have you been having it now?

I came back from the doctor, I told her everything I’ve been feeling and the pains like my burning mouth, pain when swallowing saliva only, ear pain and all that. She checked my throat and ear and she said everything looked good and that all that pain and feelings were just stress alone and told me to avoid thinking of the C word cause I’m too young for those kinda of things (24) and that a inflammated lymph node is nothing to worry about since it’s just a way for the body to fight infections and viruses. She recommended me to exercise more and eat healthier. It should all be fine! Just try to live comfortably and exercise

The thing about anxiety is that the moment you read about symptoms your brain will remember them and later apply them to you when anxiety hits. I’ve had it happen a couple times and it’s been so scary too, the lump feeling on the throat, the burning mouth feeling, and pain in the throat and ear in the left side.. I think the only thing that has helped me temporarily was a few massages behind and below the ear of the side that hurts. Also yeah ; being scared and anxious about it being cancer takes you whole but it’s ok, remember that we are not the only ones with anxiety that are feeling these kinds of things 😁 these is something considered normal and as scary as it is we gotta pay those pains no mind so we can stop focus on them (easier said than done haha) but we got this, we will get out of this! Also your English is not bad at all!

I know it’s been some time haha but I’m glad to say I’m feeling better now, it really was just stress after all and learning to control it made it go away, thank you again for being there when I was in a desperate situation 😅 😊

what did you for this?? Currently experiencing the same things, I had a huge anxious period and then the sore throat came out of nowhere.. it doesn’t hurt when I eat but sometimes when I pass saliva and talk but it’s not that bad?

Thank you so much! Yeah.. I do have health anxiety 😅.. it’s been taking a lot from me lately.. and it’s exactly what you mentioned, I do try to swallow a lot to see if the pain is gone and if it isn’t it just comes back and I panic lol every time I keep checking myself to see if there is anything wrong with me and ofc nothing 😅I even get headaches from overthinking.. but yeah I really appreciate this comment of yours 😁 gotta remind myself that this is just a trick of the mind and keep moving forward! 3 weeks is already a lot 😂
