June 30, 2014. 1  67 WALL STREET, New York - June 30, 2014 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Business Development Companies Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives.
An underactive thyroid gland, a disorder called hypothyroidism, would cause a sensation of lump in the throat. General enlargement, nodules and inflammation in the thyroid gland can be caused by both hypo as well as hyperthyroidism. These nodules can cause a feeling of lump in the throat. Diagnosis usually rests on physical examination, blood tests, a needle biopsy and possibly an ultra sound examination.
For those of you who have that lump in the throat feeling or swallowing difficulties, could you describe what it feels like? Does it feel like there is phlem in your throat or just a lump/swelling feeling? I have a .08 nodule and a slightly enlarged thyroid. I feel like I have a swollen throat/neck but I also feel like there's phlem (sorry .... gross, I know!). I've been told it's probably Gerd but I have my doubts.
