Tight Throat

I've experienced some strange throat problems over the past year. It felt as though I had something stuck in my throat. It was causing me to breath oddly and gag often. I had an endoscope done and they found nothing. They told me it could be caused by acid reflux and they put me on prevacid. That did not help so I do not believe it was due to acid reflux. I had been rushed in for emergency appendectomy about a week later and upon waking up from surgery that feeling was gone. To this day I am still just shoked and wondering what in the world it was???

i have suffered wtih tightness of the throat, like im beeing choked or i have a frog in my throat. i either cough or gag.. when certain ppl were around, i felt my throat tighten, to the point of having a tight chest.. and breathing became harder. there was no regualr pattern.. wen i went home..after a couple of days it would go away. but then started to come back more regulary. i see this as a panic attack or anxiety. but.. i feel for me.. that because i have alot of repressed emotions, that this is my bodies way of saying enough is enough, deal with it already. this last week has been realy bad. im not sure why.. im not pms-ing.. these attacks were a result of my emotional stuff rising to the surface. then comes the attacks, and hyperventalations..etc.. i had a puff on my friends asthma puffa and that helpd a little with my breathing. i have been to the drs and they sugges cognitive therapy.. wich is fine but i think i need different guidence. although i feel like someone has theyre hands around my throat constantly, its not at all painful for me. just annoying.

I've had this problem for a few years now, approaching slowly. There's a clump in the throat. When speaking load or singing, it feels like the voice must be pushed through a very narrow slit or something. It's really tiresome. I used to sing and play the guitar, but I can't really sing anymore with this going on.

Hope it passes some day.

JohnnyCBS, I too have your symptoms. I feel like my voice doesn't sound the same and I have to force when I speak. My throat does feel tight also, especially as the day goes on. It feels like tension. Was just at ENT last Wed. and he did the endosocpy and said my vocal cords look fine but throat has a little swelling. Have to take stomach meds because he thinks its LPR (reflux). I felt better after being told it wasn't cancer but it only lasts a little while and I start to worry again.
