hi i'm a 28 year old none smoker, last year i had my tonsils removed as my right tonsil was enlarged. the past couple of months everytime i swallow i feel as if there's something stuck down my throat. or there's a lump. my doctor has checked felt my neck and throat but says it's fine... everytime i swallow my ears pop and it just feels weird hard to explain. it's not painful to swallow. mainly the right side of the neck.when i touch my neck it kinda hurts. i'm always fearing i got throat cancer as i feeling tired, my throat hasn't worsen or gotten better. when i eat and drink it isn't painful. doctors are useless, should i speak to my throat surgen and see if they can check it out? as this is worrying me....

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this and if the symptom persists, you may indeed benefit from a doctor's evaluation. Direct clinical examination and additional diagnostic tests may also be requested. While symptoms of throat cancer may include trouble breathing or speaking, frequent headaches, pain or ringing in the ears, trouble swallowing and ear pain;  other conditions that cause these symptoms may need to be ruled out. Take care and do keep us posted.

Went back to the doctors and he doesn't think I have anything physically wrong with me, I got pain in the neck but isn't hard to swallow, and throat isn't sore, both ears constantly ring and has been like that for over 2 years! Headaches dizzyness eye twitching, I'm so scared I feel like something is wrong with me and no doctor helps :( they said coz I panic its anxiety but when I'm sick I panic something is major I fear its cancer! I've had blood test which came back negative, ct scan and ecg were normal! What else could it be :( I almost fall over when I'm outt somewhere! My ears constantly pop everytime I swallow! Will ct scan rule out tumors?
