I feel something in the back of throat with no pain and inflammation. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

One of the reasons for your symptoms is anxiety which you told me. Globus hysteric is a feeling of something like a lump in the throat that cannot be swallowed or swallowed and reappears. Tonsils usually are asymptomatic unless very large and obstruct throats are inflamed causing severe pain. If your throat is red, or you run a fever then the chances of inflammation are more. Alternatively, you may send a picture of your throat so that I may see any visible inflammation or tonsils.

Thank you and take care.

There are small tonsils on both sides but do not seem to be inflamed. Symptoms seem to be anxiety-related. Avoid anxiety. Another cause can be dryness of the throat as you told which leads to straining of throat muscles which cause a feeling of something. Do saline gargles. It will soothe your throat. Sometimes postnasal drip and acid reflux may cause this symptom. If you have a nasal allergy, take an anti-allergic.

Thank you.

First coming to your vertigo. When you move your head it causes vertigo, correct? There are many causes of vertigo most common in this scenario is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which leads to vertigo or dizziness while moving the head. It is caused by an inner ear disorder in which a fluid called endolymph is either reduced in volume or there are some precipitations in it called the otolith. Thus when one moves the head, it causes movement of endolymph which causes vertigo. In the case of the otolith, movement of these small stone-like precipitates causes vertigo. Diagnosis is made by a maneuver called the Dix Hallpike maneuver, in which the doctor moves your head in a certain direction to diagnose. In the case of otoliths, the doctor performs a maneuver called Epley's maneuver which settles these stones at a position where they cannot move and thus vertigo subsides. Other causes of vertigo are certain medicines, low blood pressure, low blood sugar levels, and rarely infection or inflammation of the inner ear called labyrinthitis. But vertigo in these conditions is not necessarily during the movement of the head. Yes, focusing or accommodation problems of the eyes can lead to vertigo. You may have to consult an ophthalmologist to diagnose vision problems. For folic acid and B12, you have to take meats and vitamin supplements. A strict vegetarian diet leads to vitamin B12 deficiency. Also, an autoimmune disorder that destroys receptors that absorb vitamin B12 can cause B12 deficiency. It leads to anemia called pernicious anemia. CBC (complete blood count), in case of pernicious anemia, will show anemia and large red blood cell size. Hope yours is normal. Regarding TMJ, clicking sensations only usually does not cause harm. If there is pain, stiffness, or swelling, then you may have to take anti-inflammatory medicines to cool it down. Osteoarthritis of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is very common. Diagnosed by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of TMJs. Above all symptoms may also be due to stress and anxiety. Treatment of anxiety is to do deep breathing exercises and meditation, proper sleep, and avoidance of anger. The next step involves medicines but I recommend helping yourself to help yourself as a primary strategy for anxiety and depression management. Thank you and take care.

The most common cause of headache is tension headache, which is due to tension in the muscles of the head. Another common cause is migraines. These two types are totally benign. When to worry about headaches? When headache is associated with vomiting, blurring of vision, weakness in the body, slurring of speech, etc. For tension-type headache, relaxation exercises, head massage, and simple painkillers such as Acetaminophen with or without muscle relaxants such as Orphenadrine citrate are all that is required. The same treatment is also helpful for migraines. Also, avoidance of triggers of migraine is essential. Triggers include (but are not limited to) cheese, chocolate, caffeine, skipping meals, inadequate sleep, and stress.

I hope this helps. Thank you and take care.
