Hi @Dawn2004
Im sorry you havent had any response to this, I have moved it into the speech and language advisor category to see if @NicolaLatheySLT can offer any thoughts.

Dear Dawn, The response you got from the GP sounds odd. I would have thought the 'lump' needs an examination of some sort. The trouble is, a 'lump' feeling can sometimes be caused by anxiety. I wonder if you should look at the Dysphagia Facebook group for some more tips. Thanks NicolaNicola Lathey
