my son has tightness in his throat and it
feels like a lump sitting in his throat
pit. He had a couple of episodes when he
felt like he was choking and went into a
panic attack because of the sensation.
He ended up in the e.R. This weekend and
they used a scope to take a look in his
throat. It turns out that the lump in his
throat is a polyp. This is causing the
sensations, resulting in the panic
attacks.
He'll have to have it removed. We're
making an appointment with an
ear/nose/throat specialist through our
family doctor a.S.A.P.
Perhaps all of you who have this sensation
should do the same????
Best of luck

It is definately worth trying for those
with throat problems. It could not hurt,
and if that is what it is, they can fix
it. Thanks for posting that info.

Tightness In Throat Posted: 06-15-04 14:20pm
Hi
i have had problems with tightness in my
throat for almost a year now...I have had
blood tests, saw an ent three times,
family physician and gastro doctor who did
an endoscopy and said all looks ok...This
is a frightening feeling.. Three docs
have said it is probably globus
hystericus....Anxiety...???
I have always been a high anxiety person,
and worry about my health
constantly....Anyone out there experience
this?
Thanks
vicki

When my anxiety first got really bad, I
had the tightness in the throat and excess
phlem. I had it for about a year. It
was really annoying, especially when I
didn't know why I had it.
But, once I got medicated for my anxiety,
it went away.

yes, I have experienced this and suffer
from anxiety attacks. I believe they are
definitely related. I would suggest
seeing an ear/nose/throat specialist to
rule out other causes first, then see your
doctor about treatment for anxiety
attacks.
Good luck!

I also have tightness in my throat. I was
not aware of what it was. When I
mentioned it to my doctor, he did not say
it was anxiety. I'm glad I read this
post!
