thanks for you thoughts. I'm seeing a cardiologist now .
Thank u for ur suggestion. I dont rembr if I posted this in my symptoms, but when I 1st went into the E.R.(same 1 w/ the medical college) I saw a resident ENT that was on staff @ that time & he was able to get me into the speciallty clinic ASAP & then I was able to see 1 of the speciallty ENT doctors(not just residents). When I was in the E.R. & the ENT res. saw me, he found a lump in my throat & said that it was not my thyroid(which I just saw an Endocrinologist back in April/May 2013 that checked my thyroid, etc.), it was not my tonsils, & not a lymph node. At that time I had rembrd that for about the last(almost)2yrs., I have had a feeling of like a terrible itching that was like a hair deep down towards my ear drum. I explained how, Ive asked my dad & my primary MD, many times since then to take a look to see if there was anything like a hair that he could see, bcuz it was causing such a terrible itching sensation, but they both said that they did not see anything. Ive used q-tips & even got those plastic ear cleaners w/the spoon-like thing @ 1 end & a scraper(looks like those things that honey commercials use)on the other end to try to scratch whatever it was, but it was too deep & I didnt want 2 puncture anything(& yes, now Ive been told not 2 use those things 2 clean my ears). Anyway, when I told the ENT res. @ the E.R. about this, he said it almost definately could be causing/related 2 my ear stuff & Id have 2 have it chkd out when my ear was healed. The that ENT speciallty doctor, also found this lump in my throat & agreed w/the ENT res. My problem right now is a week after I was let out of the hospital, I went back into the Medical College & was not seen by either 1 of the same doctors & the res. I saw that day was telling me all differnt stuff & was a real *******. I asked 2 speak 2 the ENT Dr. & he told me that he was busy. I left in tears. Now last nite I was in SO MUCH PAIN(the EXTREME stress Ive been under could be causing the pain 2b worse)I really should have gone 2 the hospital. It was like some took a knife & was stabbing me in the inner ear & the pressure was EXCRUIATING, stemming from my inner ear, up 2(right side)my head & temple, around my eye socket, down, the whole side of my face, jaw, & throat. The lump in my throat is so large & painful, my daughter told me it was red & bruised looking & she could see the lump extended from my throat. This am, my throat is still sore & I can feel the lump moving around. The pressure in my ear is still there, but the the stabbing feeling has gone down a bit from last pm. I dont know what 2 do & NO ONE is helping me, in fact most doctors Ive seen have made things worse by mostly causing more & more stress. Ive suffered from severe depression & anxiety since I was diagnosed @ 13yrs. old & @ 25/26yrs. old, I was diagnosed w/bipolar disorder. Ive been on SO MANY differnt medications, had ECTs, & 2.5yrs. ago I was tested for ADD. At the time, I was told that my depression was too bad 2b put on meds. A yr. ago my primary MD tried Adderal, but I fell asleep about 2hrs after taking it, so I was put on Vyvanse & for the 1st time in 20+ yrs., I feel & act normal. Im productive & wake up naturally @ 7:30am or earlier & I cant sit watching TV(I usually needed 2 sit 4 @LEAST 2hrs. & watch TV before I was fully awake & able 2 get up & the earliest I would wake up is 10am-ish)for longer than 30mins. in the am b4 I NEED/HAVE 2 get up & be productive for the day. I dont rembr any time Ive felt/been like this past yr. EVER, & now some stupid ***** psychiatrist that came 2 see me(while I was in-patient)for 5-10mins(I had about 4hrs sleep in 4 days @ that time&couldnt keep my eyes open)& had asked me about what is causing my stress, I told her personal/family/legal stuff & if she wanted 2 know more, she could come back when I had some rest & was fully coherant, she never did. This stupid *****, called my primary MD & told him 2 take me off my Vyvanse, bcuz it was causing my anxiety, which causes my obsecent picking. The 1 medicine in 20+yrs. that has made me a "normal" productive person of society & now Im off it. I took my last dose this am, I have a new psychiatrist appt. coming up Sept. 16(it was the soonest I could get in, I made the appt. in June)& I cant even get enuf Vyvanse, 2 last me until then. I am SO scared of whats going 2 happen in the next 2wks w/out my ADD("make me normal") meds, & then they all wonder what I am so stressed out for! Thank you for ur response & I will look in2 my throat stuff more. God Bless, Scorpio2177

It could also be that your thyroid on the right side may be enlarged making it more difficult to swallow, and it can cause pain.
See a cardiologist or a vascular surgeon. Either one can diagnose a problem with the carotid artery. The surgeon can suggest surgery or medication to take care of the problem.
