<s>[INST] I think I have varices on the portion of my tongue going down my throat. They just appeared a few days ago--that feeling of something in my throat. :(  I know I need to see my doctor but I just moved. What could cause this horrible thing to happen? It feels like choking almost. [/INST] Hello thanks for consulting at hcm.the choking feeling could be due to anaemia..patterson kelly syndrome..esophagial varices are present..plz get complete blood tests..hydrate yourself...you need multivitamin therapy...eat leafy vegetables,, good nutritious food...also do neglect it...plz get a consult with general physician and oral physician.....hope it helps ..take care... </s>
