I have two questions. I do smoke frequently and i was wondering if it has anything to do with my questions. My first question/statement is, for about 2 years i ve had this lump in my throat. It does nt go away if i take a drink and it is nt related to me being sick. Any ideas what it could be? For my second question, just two days ago, i ve been dealing with these pains and i m not sure what is causing them. Anytime o take a drink, my entire chest area feels like it s on fire. That is with anything i drink, water, juice, soda just about anything causes that burning in my chest. If you are able to give an answer or a clue as to what these things might be, i d appreciate very much. Thank you.
