    If you really think it is cancer, go to a doctor. If not, then calm down and realize that it is probably nothing at all.

    Sounds similar to what i have - i went to the doctor about it and they said that i just have inflamed throat tissue or something like that, so it feels like my throat is clogged or swollen.

    But just to be safe go to the doctor, i highly doubt its cancer

    My Friend,

    You would be amazed at what your body can do to you from anxiety! It sounds to me like stress is amplifying your symptoms and making them appear much worse than they are. While I am no doctor, I am someone who has experience with the symptoms of anxiety and panic.

    If you have stopped smoking that is going to cause your lungs to start to repair themselves (which they will do amazingly quick) and you will cough more than when you were smoking as they try and get rid of the bad stuff. That's most likely what your experiencing.

    I would still however go see your family doctor if possible, but in the mean time take it from someone who has been there...stress is a nasty monster. Go pet and cuddle with your favorite animal and try and relax a bit!
