Okay, I keep telling myself not to attribute every little thing to what may be Lyme & company, but I'm at it again.

I'm not even officially diagnnosed yet.

Anyway, for the past few days, in addition to the tight chest and shortness of breath, I've had a feeling that there's something caught in my throat.

Sometimes it feels like a fishbone, sometimes like a marble, sometimes just like I swallowed something wrong.

I don't really have trouble eating or swallowing anything, but it's uncomfortable.

Now I also have a cough, kind of like a tickle in the throat cough, but sometimes when I cough I get a mucus taste in the back of my mouth.

Yet I'm not coughing anything up. My chest doesn't feel congested or anything either, and no stuffy nose or post-nasal drip.

I know there's a lot of crap going around, but no one else seems to have this particualr thing.

So is it just a virus, or could it be a Lymie thing?

Perhaps its yeast? I've been having this on and off through treatment.. It seems to go away when I take nystatin

Many with lyme have developed thyroid problems. Hypothyroid can cause a sensation of something being caught in the throat.

Also I thought about sinus issues. Many with lyme have sinus infections which can also drain/drip into the throat causing sensation of something tickling the throat.

So if it's a virus it will most likely stop. If it another sx of illness these are two possiblities since lyme primary infection can lead to many secondary issues like thyroid disease or sinus.
