What Causes Feeling Tightness In The Base Of Neck And Throat?
I have been feeling a tightness in the base of my neck and the top of my throat. It happened a couple of times this past week for a short time but today it started and it hasn't stopped for over 4 hours. It's not painful just pressure and bothersome.
Hello, You have not mentioned your age. Anyways if there is no heart illness then do not worry . There could be infection in the throat or it may be due to reflux disease and which is causing mild swelling in the throat. Reflux disease is very common and it is reflux of food contents in the throat from food pipe. It is like belching or heart burn and occurs more when we snore in night. You need to take anti reflux medicines . Get an ENT consultation done and can also get done examination of the throat by an Endoscopy. In doubt do reply
