Feels like there's something in my throat

[completelydifferent]

Hi! Sorry if this is long...

I'm a 22 year old female, and for about the last 5 or 6 days I've had a feeling in my throat (upper left, in the back, just behind the uvula is what it feels like). It's getting on my nerves. It feels like there's a piece of food there or that I half-swallowed a hair or something. It doesn't hurt at all, but it feels like if I'm not careful I'll inhale it (which isn't physically possible, but it's in that location). I have no fever, no swollen glands, and there's nothing visually amiss based on my inspection with a flashlight in front of the mirror. One thing I did notice last night when I was looking was a semi-circular white ring in the back of my throat around where I think the irritation is. I don't see it at all today. I've gargled, I've tried eating different foods, I've coughed, I've tried clearing my throat in different ways, but nothing is helping. I had mono back in high school, but it's not even close to that. I had my adenoids removed when I was about 8. But I feel fine. I haven't been sick at all in 4 years. It just feels like I should be able to cough up whatever is causing this, but nothing works.

Any ideas on what could be going on??

I totally sympathize.  I can't understand why I don't feel it when I'm eating or drinking, but it starts as soon as I wake up - I'm almost obsessed with it.  I'm always looking down my throat with a flashlight or feeling my glands thinking there's something growing.  Have you seen any doctors to have it checked out?  If I go back again to have this checked they're going to think I'm nuts.  My next visit is to the dentist to see if he can shed some light on it.

i have the same problem it feels like it wants to come up but it wont and its very irraiting to me it feels like i got to burp but i dont and it just wont go away. I made my self vomit and it didnt work. It feels like its in the middle of my throat. It doesnt hurt or nothing like that i can still breathe but it is just gettin on my nerves. I dont feel it when im eating or drinking something but i do feel it when im NOT eating or drinking.

I too have the same problem since mid-May - the feeling something is on the left side of my tongue and throat.  Been to the ENT twice and was scoped and nothing showed up.  Doctor suggested it could be stress-related - anyone heard this could be the problem?  IT's driving me crazy!

I have the exact sensation too, upper left, back of my throat always feel something is there. Doesn't hurt at all, and I don't notice it when I am eating too.

I also feel food or something is in my throat. I also have a proalem with muscle spasms in my throat and have developed bizzare allergy (the cold.) also my nails peel away in the winter, then grow back in summer. Anyone else?

Do any of you have mold problems in your home?????? This is important. So many doctors KNOW NOTHING about Black mold and your State Knows even less. We are going thru a court litigation  against the landlord. Our home is full of mold and for 3 years he did nothing but come in and yell at me to wipe it down. I told him this whole damn place leaks even the shower he wont fix and roof and he walks away. Well for 7 months now I have researched and got a lawyer.. YOU WOULD ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL fall over if you saw what MPLD daoes and how many of us are on medications we dont need,, All we have to do is GET RID OF THE MOLD!!! We are looking at a multi million dollar lawsuit and you will be seeing me a lot soon because I will be traveling to talk about MOld..
As far as the hair like thing in your throat that is us too, Tis is how I found yall. This was my first site that came up.. If I find this is mold related I will be back. Anyway pleaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  all of you bring up Black Mold. You will not believe what dangers it causes ..even death
