<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I ve been going though the last couple of weeks being more conscious of my swallowing than previously. There will be times in the day when I feel like there s a lump in my throat and when I swallow it subsides for a while. I have no pain and there s no coughing or bleeding but there is a recurring feeling of being swollen around my Adam s apple periodically. It doesn t affect my singing as of yet and I can breathe normally but I ve never had this before for this long a time and I m just wondering what it is. Please let me know what you think. I would appreciate a professional opinion because I automatically start fearing the worst.  <response>: Hi. Thanks for your query. If you are a female patient the chances of this problem being globes pharynges are the most probable. But to prove this I would advise you the following:::-Laryngo-pharyngoscpy by an NET Surgeon to ascertain about the real presence of any pathologic lump swelling.-MRI of the neck to see that there is any growth mass or any other abnormality. If the above tests are normal, it is obvious that the stress and anxiety have taken a toll to give you these symptoms; you can swallow, sing well, there are no other symptoms, why to worry about cancer so much, there may not be any,
