What Causes Choking Like Feeling In My Throat?

My throat feels like it’s closing all the time. Been to the hospital a few times and I’ve been diagnosed 4 times. Allergies, Vocal Dysfunction, GERD and then strep. After taking the proper medicine my throat still feels like it’s closing. It’s very uncomrtable. Any ideas as to what’s happening?

Hello,

This feeling of choking may be secondary to acid reflux or anxiety/panic attacks or infection or dysfunction. Need laryngoscopy for vocal cord function. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Head end elevation. For vocal cord dysfunction breathing exercises ,yoga and pranayama is useful. If you have laryngitis may need anti inflammatory or anti Infectious medication. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
