Please have a look at the picture and tell me if you see something weird going on.
It’s now been 3 months of tongue/throat hell.
3 months ago, I started feeling that something was stuck on the back of my tongue. I went to the hospital one week later, they found nothing.
Now for the last 3 months,I keep needing to swallow as I feel stuck is stuck on my tongue.
Along with the feeling of stuff stuck on tongue, I have some dryness back of throat, the need to keep swallowing food as it doesn’t go down easily, lost 4 kilos in 1 month (eating properly), extreme tiredness & neck pain (maybe due to the constant swallowing)
I would never try and get a diagnosis from the internet, but I have been seen by many doctors and still waiting for more tests… maybe someone out there have seen this type of issue before and can help out.
I’m really sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve been experiencing. It sounds incredibly frustrating and uncomfortable. While I can’t provide a diagnosis or medical advice, I can suggest a few things that might be helpful:
Document Symptoms: Keep a detailed log of your symptoms, including any changes or patterns you notice. This information can be valuable for doctors and specialists.
Follow-Up with Specialists: Since you’ve seen multiple doctors already, it might be worth following up with an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist if you haven’t yet. They can offer a more focused evaluation of your throat and tongue issues.
Consider a Second Opinion: Sometimes, getting a second opinion from a different specialist or a center with expertise in swallowing disorders or throat conditions might provide new insights.
Explore Diagnostic Tests: If you haven’t had them already, tests such as an endoscopy or imaging studies (like a CT scan or MRI) might help identify any underlying issues that weren’t visible in initial exams.
Support Groups: Connecting with others who have similar symptoms might offer emotional support and practical tips. They might also share experiences with specialists or treatments that helped them.
I hope you find relief soon and that the upcoming tests provide some answers. In the meantime, it’s great that you’re seeking out information and support.
