Lump in throat causing panic attacks

2017-10-11 03:13:22
I am 22. I feel a lump in my throat when I swallow saliva. I have had some brief, mild pain around that area, but nothing serious. I smoke and I’m worried it’s cancer. I am prone to acid reflux so I believe that is the actual cause but the idea it could be cancer is causing me panic attacks and I don’t know what to do
