Anxiety and Stress?

[MrOneDay]

I can't honestly remember when it started but a while back I noticed when I swallowed spit at a certain angle I would hear a clicking/cartilage (kinda like a bone dislocation sound) type sound in my throat. Only while looking down or at at downward angle. Looking down on my phone or if lying down my neck bent also to look at my phone. If I sit straight it will not do it. If I look down and turn my head either way it also will not do it. Also doesn't hurt to swallowing, not horse unless I'm yelling lol and doesn't do it wen swallowing food or liquids, only spit. Or I can't tell, I don't feel it with food or water. Dry/spit swallow I can feel it bad.  Another thing, when I put my thumb and pointer finger around the "voice box?" and feel when I swallow I feel the noise at the upper part of the throat. Kind of like higher above the adams apple between the tonsils. I don't know, this is driving my hypochondria MAD

I suffer from Hashimotos, had blood work done about a month or so ago, levels are good. I am also a hypochondriac, BAD.

Well a couple days ago I went o my Dr because of my allergies and I told her about it, she said she didn't think it was anything to worry about. Felt around, and said by the way I described it she didn't think it was a nodule, if anything it's the cartilage or maybe a bit inflamed cause the nasal drip.
Then she asked me if the doctor who found my hypo did an ultrasound, I said no and she asked if I wanted to do one. At the point where I am at right now with my anxiety I said no. The waiting would have me going crazy. She said okay, just wanted to do it for my peace of mind. To not worry about it.

Well I am worried about it and now the scan question is driving me so crazy and anxious and stress that now I have a tightness in the throat feeling! The clicking feels upper neck, tightness feels low neck like almost to the breast bone low. Has me swallowing almost every minute to see if I can feel it, again also has my throat feeling like its closing. I've had this feeling before from anxiety too so I confused. I have also been visiting Dr Google, I know, I know but on this state I can't help it.


Have anyone else felt this? Don't know why I'm even asking but should I believe her? She's my thyroid Dr. and is up on a lot about the thyroid. She's a believer in Armour and nature thyroid meds. She also specializes in other hormones.

I'm freaking out guys. Dr Google tells me thyroid cancer but also tells me anxiety. Forums say the same. At the moment I can't afford a scan anyways but again she said she didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. My hypochondria is telling me something else.

I know the power of the mind because earlier in the year I was having bad abdominal issues. Scan, 2 ultrasounds and an endoscopy later turned out to be gastritis. But my mind had me thinking cancer. The pains and feelings did too till I found out it wasn't and wah lah no longer bothers me.


Ps (edit) I do suffer from tension all around the neck area. Really bad around the shoulder blades, traps and ow in the front neck muscles too. I mean real bad knots too. Also the endoscopy was done a few months back so I would think if something was swollen or looking weird he would've pointed it out no? Lastly the tightness isn't always there. It really just started. I feel it way worse when I let it get to me and get me almost into a panic mode, I really didn't feel it till after talking to her that day, Now it comes and goes in waves, more when I try and not think about it, yea damn anxiety will do that.
