Feeling the tightness in my jaw

I've been experiencing a tightness/tug at the base of jaw or at the top end of my throat. I've been breathing a lot through my mouth as a way of coping up with my anxiety. Every morning for the last 3 days I wake up with this feeling of tightness/tug. It is not hindering my swallowing, but still it's very uncomfortable.

Health anxiety

Hello Doctor, I would like to consult you regarding a throat issue that has been troubling me. I have been a smoker for the past 6 years. In 2023, I noticed small lumps on my palatopharyngeal arch and consulted an ENT specialist. I was prescribed medications, including Sporlac powder, and was told it was due to irritation. After that, I had a habit of consuming alcohol daily and frequently eating spicy and oily foods, and I used to lie down immediately after meals. I have stopped alcohol since mid-2025, but I am still unable to quit smoking. Currently, I continue to notice the lumps along with throat irritation, which is causing me significant anxiety. I am worried whether this condition is serious or could develop into cancer, and it is affecting my concentration at work. I would like your guidance on whether this is due to chronic irritation or something serious, if there is any risk of cancer. Have u treated similar cases and I need elaborate answers only. Please help me 93xxxxxx09

Severe allergy cough from last 4 years

I have been suffering from severe cough for the last 4 years. Doctors told me it may be an allergy cough. Sometimes the coughing becomes so intense that I even lose control of my bladder while sitting. I want to know if there is any allergy test that can help identify what exactly I am allergic to and how it can be treated.
