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???

Re Tight Throat Posted: 07-02-07 14:10pm
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.
