Common Questions and Answers about Pain neck windpipe

Avatar m tn Okay, so I noticed for a long time now. (3-4 years) I have not been able to get a full breath at all. Then starting recently (3-4 months ago) I started to have pain in the upper interior of my windpipe. (It seemed to be coming from just below the epiglottis) Tonight it was worse than usual and I let out a cough and the pain moved. It was no longer in the same area but now it was coming from right above my epiglottis. I tried drinking some water.
Avatar m tn When I move my head downwards (quickly, chin toward neck), I feel a choking sensation in the windpipe area. Sometimes it occurs naturally too, without head movement, but it is intermittent. I do not have a sore throat, or cold, but my doctor gave me a throat spray which is not much use! I can eat without discomfort. Sometimes if I smell something strong, it makes me feel like I want to cough, a strange sensation in the throat and windpipe. What can be causing this?
Avatar f tn The pain is still there, although not as intense - its still there. I also just felt my front neck where the pain was along side my windpipe - and I felt something move - and it sounded crunchy when it moved. I know that sounds weird, but thats the best I can describe it. Im trying to respect the doctor and his expertise, but I might feel better about my prognosis once I get someone else to have a look at my scan. I was not ordered for bloodwork either.
Avatar n tn so i've been experiencing some rather odd pain in the front/right side of the neck... it rather feels like somone is pushing on my throat with extreme force from the outside... and i was just curious if anything could be causing this having to deal with my thyroid? the pain comes and goes, lasting up to 5 minutes at a time. it makes me a little bit light headed and is just really annoying. when it started i'd get the sudden pain maybe once a day...
Avatar m tn Recently I have have a terrible long standing sore throat and several hard lumps on the front and side of my throat(windpipe) and lower down on the neck. These dont feel like lymph nodes, they feel like proper lumps. I have had MULTIPLE courses of antibiotics(finished the most recent course two days ago) and no success. It is an 18 month wait to see an ENT and my GP isnt taking this very seriously. I do smoke and socially drink. I am miserable form this.
Avatar m tn what you can do is to take two fingers not the thumb and not the index finger and place them center of your neck either on the right side or left side of the neck along the windpipe center and press in...you should have no issues catching your pulse at that area. A word of warning tho...do not press in on both sides of the windpipe/neck area at the same time you could cause yourself to pass out by cutting off your bloodflow/oxygen....its a secondary way to take your pulse. Hope it was helpful.
Avatar m tn Last week I noticed a feeling of something in my throat. Right side of neck. I hadn't felt anything up until then. I felt it immediately after I took a smoke off of someone's Marijuana pipe. I smoke occasionally, maybe every other weekend. This feeling has not left at all. I feel like it is blocking my airway. It really doesnt hurt, its just very bothersome. Over the last several weeks, I've experienced severe dry mouth as well as chronic headaches.
Avatar f tn It hurts in the back and especially in the front by my windpipe and on the sides. Other then the neck pain none of the other symptoms remain. Should I get it checked out? Is it a concussion what do you think?
Avatar f tn So now I barely feel it against my windpipe and only can feel about half of it from the outside on my neck and now if I stick my finger under the right side of my tongue I can feel the top of the lump. And the pressure is now horrible under my tongue and jaw. Also it flares up over any food. Not just salty stuff. It flared up today from just chewing gum.
Avatar f tn I have a lump on left side of neck size of a golf ball. Location is thyroid possibly. Above clavicle just left of windpipe area. moves with swallowing. Other possible symptoms include fatigue, pressure on left side when swallowing, headaches, slight cough at night not constant. Night sweats which soak my clothes and sheets.
Avatar n tn Doctor, i experiencing this uncomfortable feeling in my neck for the longest time. my neck always feels heavy, full, thick, and like there is a lot of pressure on it. before all this was happeneing i had a real hard time catching my breath it was scary i would feel like i had to yawn to breathe, i would see doctors and they would say don't worry your fine...but i felt so uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn hi all just a question really ive been having some worrying symptoms now for a while well nearly a year so here goes. i started in june 2008 witha swollen lymph node in my neck and groin started to feel tired alot but otherwise fine GP said to allow them time to go doen which i did.
Avatar n tn Around 3 days ago i felt a little bump the right side of my windpipe that is a little painful if pushed. My neck also feels a little stiff. I was just wondering what a lymph node in the collarbone should feel or look like to be considered enlarged and/or a sign of cancer. Please help me i'm really freaking out.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm 16 years old and I get the sensation that when I inhale, my windpipe will tighten up and will not be able to breathe, like my windpipe would just close, I am very stressed and worried by this and I don't know how long it's going to last. This happens usually when I'm sitting down or walking, I don't smoke or anything like that, I don't have trouble swallowing or talking.

Avatar m tn It was like I swallowed down my windpipe, and it took a minute or two to clear my throat and get back to normal swallowing and breathing. Since then I've had multiple episodes where I go to swallow food or water, and feel like the same thing is going to happen. Only once did I actually get food stuck in my throat, but I was able to bring it back up immediately and then swallow normally.
Avatar f tn I had an emergency trach for 4 weeks - it was removed 2 weeks ago. Since then I have really great days and then days where breathing seems labored. I was on steroids but am now weaning off of those. It is especially bothersome at night - I try to sleep lying down and sometimes can then other nights I sleep upright in a recliner. Some days my voice is strong, almost normal and others it goes right back to being weak. What is a normal recup time from a trach? Does this sound normal?
Avatar f tn pre-op, I have lots of symptoms, blurred vision, pain in head, neck, shoulders, upper back, arms and hands, also shortness of breath, pain in my leg sometimes. I recently had to go to the emergency room and they found an aneurysm in the main aorta valve of my heart and I had decompression and fusion surgery in September that I am still healing from == I also have problem with my eyesight and feel tired and weak -- I am trying to return to work in pain = hope I can make it. How are you??
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 21 year old female. My health has always been on the poor side and I have type 1 diabetes (diagnosed at age 3). Another recent problem which I feel I should mention is that I was hospitalized for c. diff back in May. I was not on antibiotics and have no idea how I acquired it. I'm not sure if it has relation to what my current problem is though, but I felt it should be mentioned.
Avatar f tn Just had ultrasound and the nodule has doubled in size. ENT wants to remove it. I have some compression issues, neck pain, tickle in throat, constant throat clearing. Does surgery sound right? Are these symptoms consistent with nodules? Is that rate of growth a lot. First found the lump in my neck 5 months ago. FNB was benign!
Avatar n tn The reason I ask is because, I had a ct w/contrast of the head and neck. The Doc said that I have shotty nodes in the neck area. Did not specify what region. She didn't seem concerned about them so much. She then stated that the ct showed somthing in the upper lobes of the lungs and asked if I had ever had a bad case of pneumonia. When I was about five I told her. She had me schedule another ct on my chest, that's in about a week.
Avatar f tn Most patients with lung cancer who present with voice changes usually have tumor compressing on a nerve that descends into the chest before it rises up the neck to the voice box. If the location of the tumor is indeed close to the windpipe ( trachea - the single air tube that links both lungs and extends up to the back of the throat), we would need to consider that there may be compression.
Avatar m tn I have the sense that I am doing this to breathe better, thinking that with my head titled back, my windpipe is opened up. Has anyone else experienced this or is aware of what this might be? Thank you.
Avatar m tn When I stand up the pain is 10x worse. I feel it in my neck and sometimes in my shoulder. I am hesitant to go back to the hospital and they cant find anything worng. The symptoms do not seem to be getting worse over time. They just are not getting any better either. Also when I take a deep breathe my chest kind of feel tight or a burning.
Avatar n tn I have had neck surgery in the past.. I have plates, screws and donor bones in my neck... I'm having a problem now with sleep apnea... could they be related ??
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, In the last 2 months I developed a weird sensation in my upper chest area. I have seen 3 doctors and did bloodwork, EKG, chest x-ray, swallowing test, and all of which came back normal. However, the sensation in my chest was first slightly tight (doesn't hurt) and over a course of a week or so it gotten so weird..there's this discomfort surge in my chest like an adrenaline rush when you almost hit a car or got scared from behind..etc.
Avatar n tn My main problem is my neck/throat. I believe it may be my thyroid? But anyway, the pain is mainly in the middle of my neck and on each side. Its very swollen, my tonsils are swollen as well. I have weird crawling sensations and sharp and dull pain. Also my windpipe/throat both feel very raw. I also have trouble breathing. This has been steadily getting worse for the past 5-6 months. Im experiencing chest pain, and stinging pain in my arms and legs.
Avatar n tn I have mainly used codeine and Iboprufen. I have been off pain relief for 48 hrs and the neck pain is about 4 out of 10. I am going to try warm compresses...hope this helps Oh I also suffer from TMJ so I am not sure if this makes the symptoms worse my follow up is next week.
