Could be just symptoms of anxiety. I had this for ages and really thought that I was having scary chest pains...just turned out to be Acid Reflux (heartburn) and my doc said that it was probably linked to my IBS and anxiety.

You could try some over the counter stuff like Gaviscon or get the doc to give you something for Acid Reflux. If that doesn't work...it's probably the old anxiety monster trying new ways to p*ss you off.

Hope you feel better soon.

hey this is my main symptom of anxiety its REALLY SCARY AND UNPLEASANT but you,ll be happy to know IT IS just anxiety or at the very worst acid reflux as stum says.
losec 20mg 1 tablet a day may help!
I know how scary and unpleasant this syptom is as i suffer from it and it is just anxiety combined with a bit of acid!
Just remember NOTHING BAD is going to happen....you wont choke, and your throat WILL NOT close up or anything bad! sometimes small sips of water or a warm drink to relax the throat muscle helps. There are lots and lots of people on this site who do suffer this also, just remember it isnt pleasant but it wont harm you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is something new that I have started experiencing a few weeks back. Never had it before and then one day it just came out of nowhere. Freaked me out at first but then my pdoc called it "hystericus something or other" and said it happens mostly in women.

This is definitely one symptom probably everybody on this site can realte to. Whether it's indigestion, acid reflux, chest pain, tightness in the throat or trouble swallowing. Here's a link describing a condition I suffered from for many years resulting from 'swallowing air'...http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gas-and-gas-pains/DG00014 Another thing to look for is a possible trigger. In my case it was caffeine and chocolate. It is annoying, but harmless... and will pass as anxiety levels decrease.

I feel this way in crowds. That is why I rarely leave the house.

If it is anxiety i use relaxaton tapes, hot baths with Camamile oil, Camamile tea and try and breath deep when in public and i feel anxious. I suffer social anxiety and it has got worse because i am pregnant and can't take my meds so i literally hold my breath sometimes and then realise i am doing it. If you find this advice relavent then try to breath deep.

mine started out as a lump and now i feel like i have problems swallowing i feel like things are constantly getting stuck in my throat/windpipe its like i have no concept of swallowing do you also feel these other things?...

When my anxiety is bad, I feel like I have phlegm stuck in my throat and it feels like I am choking. Clearing my throat sometimes works, but I do use sugar free mentholated cough drops to help as well.

haha.. Jordan especially knows this, but i get this ALL the time! Don't worry about it! I actually have it right now lol but I'm starting to just ignore it! It's becoming more of a pain to deal with! So I'm with ya on this!

I started getting this during the summer and the pain was unbearable. I thought the citalopram had got stuck in my throat and scalded it! The doctor prescribed an anti heartburn remedy which cut down the length of time it lasted for from over a week to a couple of days...

I do get this from anxiety when I take my first bite of a meal. The first bite sticks in my throat..it is awful.

I did get this feeling from an anti- depressant drug. I can't remember which one. My Dr. classified it as "dry mouth". I don't! This is what he told me.

yep, all of the time.

i have it right this second, so here i am.
