Hello I am rob.. A new registered member.

I'll explain my problem... Im 20 years old and had asthma all my life

basically when I was 18 years old, some guy I used to hang out with offered me weed to smoke. I decided to smoke it and yes my breathing was really good (i have asthma) but then all of the sudden I started feeling the tightness feel in my throat like something was stuck there. It felt like that for a good while but it felt like it went away. I started smoking weed but it wasnt like an everyday thing, I would only smoke with friends like every couple of weeks to a couple of months. I went to a doctor to get my throat checked but he saw nothing and he suggested gargling with saltwater.... I stopped smoking weed of november 2004 and I was prescribed some green liquid to gargle my throat but that didnt work, and I got in x-ray done on my throat and they found nothing. So then I went to a throat specialist on may 30 2005, and the doctor put a wire through one of my nostrils to see the inside of my throat. He said it is nothing and its probably anxiety. But what I dont understand is how can it be anxiety, I havent beem stressed out before the week I went to see the throat specialist. I got an allergic test done to see if I was allergic to grass and I am but the doctor said it has nothing to do with the weed I smoked. Today I just gargled my throat with saltwater and that didnt help much. When I eat and drink its fine, like no problems, I dont have any hard time swallowing my own spit or anything, I use too but I got prescibed some pill and my throat wasnt red and I didnt have any hard times swallowing, but now all of the sudden it feels like a weird tightness in my throat.

By pushing on the cartilage in the neck just below the adams apple thats what it would feel like. It doesnt interfere with my breathing, like its fine, it just feels uncomfortable...
