I've recently noticed a lump above my Adam's apple, I've had it for about two weeks now. It feels a bit uncomfortable when I swallow. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

I'm really worried because I've been having this weird sensation like there's a lump in my throat for the past six months, and it comes with shortness of breath, stiffness, and pain on the back left side. It seems to ease up a bit when I burp, which is strange. Could there be something in my throat that's making it hard to breathe?

I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?

No it is not
