Unpleasant disharmony in the throat, associated with the presence of a foreign body such as a lump, can also occur in very simple banal cases: unsuccessfully swallowing saliva or food, as a result of unexpected hiccups. The consequences of such cases, of course, cause discomfort in the throat, but for a very short time.. The normal human body recovers quickly and without complications.

Acute respiratory and infectious diseases of the throat itself: tonsillitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis are also accompanied by lumpy swallowing, but here, as a rule, it cannot do without serious treatment of the underlying disease and problems with sensations in a person's throat disappear with general recovery.

Much more dangerous is the condition when a lump in the throat is not very painful, but lasts too long. It is crucial here to take this seriously and be sure to go to the hospital for an examination by a doctor.. After all, such a symptom may be a harbinger of a serious chronic illness..

One of these ailments is a hernia of the esophageal passage of the diaphragm.. The disease is little known to the majority of citizens, but nevertheless, it requires a thorough examination and treatment.. Moreover, the accompanying symptoms such as unpleasant belching and heartburn are very similar to the precursors of other much wider common diseases (stomach ulcer, gastritis) and can lead the diagnosis down the wrong path.

Another example of a similar little-known disease is reflux disease, when stomach contents are regularly thrown back into the esophagus.. The analogy of a lump in the throat can also be generated by diseases far from the digestive system.. Ostechondrosis causes pain signals not only in the cervical vertebrae, but also on the inner surface of the throat. Disruptions in the functioning of the thyroid gland associated with a lack of iodine in the human body can also be expressed in the form of difficult swallowing, similar to an impassable lump.

The most unexpected causes of such symptoms can be considered diseases of the general nervous system..

Neuroses associated with the occurrence of various complex life problems, turning into prolonged depression are often accompanied by sharp convulsive spasms of the muscles of the larynx. Undoubtedly, the main concern of a person who feels discomfort in the throat should be associated with the danger of cancer.. When a lump is not only a sensation, but a truly malignant neoplasm in the body.

To be on the alert, even to the most ordinary, habitual signals - the body's signals are the key to correct and timely diagnosis of any disease.
