MG (myasthenia gravis), can have a tumor in the thymus, which compresses the windpipe and esophagus. This is called a thymoma.

So far you have posted at least 3 of these symptoms so far here.
This is not common, and usually benign, but may rarely be a cancer.

MG is an autoimmune disease.
I just checked my medical records from my first neurologist--Jan 2015. He must have checked for this. The antibody for this (AcHR) was 23. Above 32 is positive. Evidently he was concerned about this also.
