I have a persistent lump-like sensation in the front of my throat, similar to where my Adam's apple is, which feels swollen. I have seen two ENT specialists over the last five months, and they have diagnosed it as acid reflux, but I suspect it might be related to thyroid or larynx issues, possibly even cancer. Symptoms include a tight feeling in the throat, a hoarse voice, constant burping, an enlarged thyroid (not visible but palpable), difficulty breathing, swallowing problems, and a dry mouth. Tests conducted include nasal laryngoscopy, two barium swallows, a CT scan of the soft tissue of the neck, and a thyroid blood test, all of which were normal. What additional tests or evaluations can I request to diagnose the underlying cause of these symptoms?

I've had dental work done and am experiencing symptoms such as a stiff neck, pain in my teeth roots and sinus area, TMJ-like issues, ringing in my ears, and a visible abscess on my gum causing a lot of pain. I take Klonopin for anxiety and CBD oil, but neither helps with my oral facial pain. What could be causing these symptoms and what further steps should I take for diagnosis and treatment?
