Tight Throat
Posted: 06-09-07 02:42am

hi there new to forum

i have been experiencing a very tight throat feeling for nearly a year. i have had to deal with the death of my sister but this feeling is very annoying. i have no other problems.

i feel as if my throat needs stretching. i have no problems sleeping and the problems disappears when i lie down. does this happen to other people.

it is on my mind all the time even thought i try to forget about it.

last week i had an endoscopy of the throat and larnyx where i was put to sleep and the consultant said that the muscle at the top of the osophagos was tight as this would explain the tightness feeling. At least there was a genuine reason for the feeling. he said that in time it should disappear in time and mention globus . he told me not to worry!!!!!

some days are better than others.

does anyone have any helpful suggestions. should i see my doctor for anxiety medication. perhaps something to reduce the muscle tension.

i would love to hear from other sufferers as i do not know anybody who has this problem. i would pay anything to get rid of the feeling.

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.
