I stripped and hit my neck on a pole yesterday whoch left me gasping for air and it really hurt. It was fine until a couple hours ago at which i found it extremely difficult to breath and i feel as if my throat is closing up.

Is something significant happening? What should i do to help me breath better.

Ps. I also have slight broncle asthma

Hi,
As your injury was yesterday and now you feel your throat is closing, I suggest you go to the ER to be checked. There is a possibility that there may be swelling or a hematoma that is causing some narrowing of your throat.
