Throat Tension Driving Me Crazy Posted: 03-17-04 11:06am
I have constant throat tension. It's a
bit uncomfortable to speak and sometimes I
pronounce things funny because of the
tightness. Sometimes I can't go to sleep
at night easily because of this. I had
this for as far back as I can remember.
Stress makes it worse. Lump in throat
feeling too. Any ideas? Thanks.
I guess I should see a ent doctor.

I am not in your exact shoes, but I have
something sort of similar. I get a
strange feeling of something in my throat.
I feel like if I keep clearing my throat,
it will go away. It lasts a few days and
then it goes??! I am not sure what it is.
I have had x-rays and nothing is in
there.
Good luck!

Hi
just wondering how you were doing with the
tightness in the throat....I have had the
same thing for almost a year now...Had an
endoscopy and blood work, saw and ent.
But they say all looks ok....It is a
scarey feeling..Like it's going to close
off.....Someone said spasms of the
esophagus due to anxiety???? I don't know
but it is really annoying and scarey at
the same time...
How are you doing?
Vicki

Tightness In Throat Posted: 06-20-04 12:02pm
My friend just had this procedure done a
few months ago and I am thinking about
having it done as well. They put you
under , slid a tube down your throat,
expand it for a second and then remove it.
This is not a one time deal it will have
to be done again in a few years and he can
no longer eat spicy foods, have caffeine,
or alcohol. My friend also had problems
eating and could no sallow without it
getting stuck in his throat and could not
eat without having something to drink. I
believe this was done at a small hospital
in warsaw, n.Y. Located between buffalo
and rochester.

Hi mikey
it sounds like it may be anxiety related.
Hop on over to the anixety and stress
forum - there are a lot of us that
experience the same thing you are
describing...
