What Causes Choking Feeling In Throat?
Hi I am a 32 year old male, the past few weeks I have been feeling a slight choking feeling in the middle of my throat like someone taking 2 fingers and gently pressing on the center of my neck. I have never had this happen before and have no issues with eating or swallowing, can you provide any details what may be the problem

Hello,
One of the common causes of the feeling of choking can be acid reflux. I suggest using medication to lower the acidity in the stomach such as Prilosec. You should take it in the morning before breakfast. I also suggest using antacids during the day such as Maalox.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
