I just wonder whether anyone else has had something similar. At the end of June I woke one Sunday morning and found that i had a sudden tightness at the base of my throat. 9 years ago I had a thyroidectomy and my voice is sometimes a bit husky but this was different. It was worse if I raised my voice. The next day I had a slight temperature which made me think that it was a virus but nothing else happened for 2 weeks. Then I suddenly got a throat infection for which I was given antibiotics by a GP (not my usual practice as i was away). The infection cleared up but was followed by a cold. I am still not 100% back to normal. I have good days and then symptoms return and I still have the tight feeling. It may be improving now but slowly.
I did see a GP about it on my return but he wanted me to wait a couple more weeks before referring me. He arranged blood tests for me. I haven't seen the results yet but the surgery hasn't called me in to see a GP.
Just wondered whether anyone else had had similar? I have had previous throat infection with sore throat and lots of coughing but this was different.
