Okay, this has been going on for a while. My throat feels like it is like being squeezed, it has a lot of tension. I was wondering if anyone else with anxiety has this or do I have a cold or something. It is constant, its not just once in a while. Thank you in advance for your advice. ~Amanda

How long is a while?
It could be a number of things. Do you have any other cold symptoms?
As some of us clench our jaws, it is possible you may have a subconcious habit with you throat muscles.
Have you tried tylenol or ibuprophen to see if that helps the discomfort?

i agree with 4boys, take some pain/anti-inflammatory medication. if it works, its a cold. if it doesn't...its TMJ. i learned that symptoms of TMJ can also happen in the throat. i feel like the TMJ freak tongiht.

I do get a weird throat thing. Sometimes it feels like there is a major lump in my throat and no matter what I can not get rid of it. There are also times that I feel like behind or on the sides of my throat, that it is swelling. I try not to think about it and sometimes it goes away but other times it stays for a while. It usually comes with some other type of pressure as well.
