Hi. I have been having a tightness in my throat for about 10 days now. It litteraly feels like someone is choking me or has their hands around my neck and squeezing the day lights out of it. Or it can be described as someone taking two fingers and pushing real hard into the front of my throat and keeping that pressure on. It doesn t hurt, it s just very uncomfortable. I cab breath okay and swallow, but it feels like my head is going to pop off. I am dealing with a headache now from it. I have had this once before about 5 years ago. My Dr. sent me to specialists and I had swallowing tests done and a few other things and nothing, everything came back normal. I tell you, it s getting unbearable. I know if I went to emerge, I would be sitting there for 4 hours and they would say it s stress. No kidding. I thought it may be from a new drug (ciprelex), that I went on because the symptoms started around the same time. So I quite taking them and well I still have the same symptoms. I ve read where it could be allergies, environmental and food.
