What Causes Lump Beneath The Adams Apple And Anxiety?

8 weeks ago.. Random swelling of left side of my face and swelling of the throat. Completely irrational panic attacks and mood swings (crying, screaming..etc) for the 3 days that followed. Emergency room.. Said after swab of my throat I have some kind of virus.. No health insurance... Symptoms subside except swollen ymph nodes under my jawbone near adams apple... 6 weeks later, swollen lymph nodes still there. But now a lump underneathe my adams apple as well. Anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, unreasonable bloating, constipation, excessive sweating, and extreme fatigue. Please help. :(

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr shareef answering your query.

If I was your doctor, I would advise you for a thyroid function test, and a possible ultrasound of the lump in the neck along with a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lump to arrive at a histological diagnosis supported by a clinical examination. Further management would depend on the clinical findings and lab investigations along with FNAC.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
