blocked feeling in right side of throat.. no pain..worried

[bagonerves]

Hi,

For the last few weeks I have had a strange blocked feeling in the right side of my throat but it is not painful or sore.

I do get anxious about it and it effects my breathing..it kind of feels like my airway is slightly blocked but the breathing trouble comes and goes..its mainly when I focus on it.

I am a 21 year old male. I do suffer from anxiety and I have OCB.
My OCB is triggered when I dont feel symetrical as weird as it may sound I need to feel the same way on both sides of my body and having a discomfort in one side of my neck doesnt help.

A lot of my anxiety is due to fear of being terminally ill, a few months ago I convinced myself a discomfort in my chest and fatigue was cancer and needed to have extensive tests to put my mind at ease.

I also was extremely worried that I might have HIV even though I have had no exposure..even to this day I worry that I have it but have never been exposed.

I don't know if the blocked feeling is caused by my anxietys and OCB.. the last problem I had with my chest dissapeared when the tests came back negative.

Has anyone had  any similar problems or do you think my anxiety and OCB is getting the better of me?

Thank you for your help

For the past week I have had the same feeling in my throat, when I swallow or breathe I cannot feel the right side of my throat. I'm not too concerned and I know it's not anxiety. It's just really annoying and I don't feel like going to the doctor.

If it is there when you concentrate on it and not when you don't it most likely is anxiety.
