Tight throat and anxiety
Posted: 06-12-08 14:16pm

Hey there...
Ok i am 18 and i have been experiencing a tight throat for a month now. I put it down to some kind of ashtma (never had asthma before). I havnt been to the doctors yet as i have really important exams at school and cant afford the time.

whilst looking at other boards i thought perhaps it was an anxiety problem due to my exams because without them i cant get into university. I have also been panicing about missing my exam, even if i leave half an hour before hand.

Please let me know what you think because i dont want to place it down to anxiety if there is something else.

Alot of times when someone gets stressed or anxious, it can cause their thyroid glands to swell causing them to feel a tight sensation in their throat. It usually goes away. I have had this feeling before also, and it is so uncomfortable!
