Q: Tight Throat

Hi I too have had a bad throat for what seems an eternity!! I have looked up globus hystericus and it seems to me that is what im suffering from, please look it up it makes you feel a whole lot better.

I have had problems with my throat since 1995 which is a hell of a long time and no doctor I go to can tell me what it is. Its a feeling that someone has got their hands around your throat and your having trouble breathing. It really is a very scarey sensation. Also on top of that is a feeling of a lump in your throat, which feels like your choking on your own spit! I have suffered from panic attacks and am also on anti depressants for it. I have trouble sleeping and last night I completely went nuts cleaning the house to take my mind off the fact that I couldnt breathe!!

I think most of my problem is that I get wound up too easily, I have a dog that likes to push me as far as she can and with xmas coming up im stressed out! Hence the bad throat.

If anyone out there can help me with the way im feeling please do, as I dont wat to feel like this the rest of my life.

Many thanks :cry:

Tight Throat

I was wondering what was wrong with my throat. Just this week. It started off when I was sleeping. I had been very very upset crying and all for a few days. Then one night I was sleeping and I sat up and jumped out of bed because my air passage threw my mouth and nose was completely closed by the time an ambulance arrived I would be brain dead or dead finally I felt a little air, I did not sleep all night as every time I feel asleep it started to close again for two nights. I notice it only happens in the evening, so I can not eat the food will not go down, and its hard to swallow, I do not have a pain it I do not swallow I also seen to have a lot of indigestion then when I burp I feel it tighten worse and burns...So now I will not go to the doctors I feel 100% its anxiety from this week.
