Hello.
I have been having a feeling of my throat
closing and it is really starting to scare
me. I am not sure if it is caused by
anxiety or stress or if it is actually
happening, but the feeling is so real..
and it is very difficult eating food. I
was sick a few days ago.
Any ideas?
I am getting very scared that it might
close at some stage.

Do you have any other symptoms of anxiety?
It is important that if you do have a
symptom that can be related to anxiety,
you rule out actual health causes.
You can feel tight in the throat due to
anxiety, but your throat is actually ok if
this is the case. Otherwise, you should
see if you have food allergies that might
be causing this, or some medication that
you might be taking could be the cause:
there are some that do this. You
mentioned that you were sick a few days
ago...did you take a medication for it?
If you start finding it difficult to
breathe, then it is important that you do
see a doctor right away.
