Lump feeling

Hi, does anyone have a lump feeling in their throat and tightness. With some pain in the ear? I do NOT have any stomach pains or burning and have NEVER had heartburn. I am so freaked out that it isn't Gerd that it is a tumor or soemthing worse =(
Thanks.

You can have a sensation like there is a lump in your throat with GERD. You can also get the same sensation with anxiety. Probably the more you think about it the worse you feel, at least that is the way it is for me. Hope you feel better. Doubt it is a tumor

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
