Fullness/tightness/suffocating feeling neck

Hi all, it’s me again with all of my late stage side effects. I have a new one and wondering if something experienced something similar. Not reaching out to my docs (yet) because I’m on holiday so can’t go to the hospital anyways, so I need my cancer buddies.

Since a week or so I experience a weird sensation of fullness around the neck. It’s diffuse and covers the sides of my neck, the front, from jaw to collarbone. as it’s diffuse I’m not directly worried for recurrence. it basically feels like when you have a full nose due to a cold, only then weirdly in the neck area. it also feels suffocating. I have no visible or palpable swelling, but my muscles are hard due to the fibrosis. 13 months out of chemo radiation for tonsil + 2 lymph nodes mets. any ideas?
