I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.

My vertigo issue hasn't gotten any better, and I'm not seeing any improvement. You mentioned I should avoid exercises, so I've been steering clear of them. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with it? I'm feeling a bit stuck and would love some guidance on next steps.
Vertigo can be a challenging condition to manage. Since you are not seeing any improvement and avoiding exercises as advised, I recommend trying medication to help alleviate your symptoms. You can try taking Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
