23 year old male; neuro visit is tomorow.
About 3 weeks ago I found a lump in my mouth and noticed that I had some trouble swallowing certain foods; typically sticky and crumbly foods like apples and cereal that would get stuck in the back of my throat near my oral cavity. I had a CT scan which came back with no abnormalities and I simply figured that there wasn't any real problem -- the swallowing issue was simply anxiety based.
A week later and the issue still persists except I just realized that when I was chewing cereal tonight, food was sticking to my gums and the insides of my cheeks. I also have some leg cramps and have had a cough for the last 3 weeks or so (not sure if it's related to my eating and drinking though)
I'm extremely nervous and can't sleep. Please -- if anyone can provide insight -- help me!
