HI---I have had the exact same thing for about 9mo. now. It's a feeling of a tight turtleneck on , or a tight necktie. IT's because of the spasms in your throat and esophagus, due to your mandible being too far back and in the wrong position. Stress can make it much worse, and swallowing food sometimes is a real chore. I also get a feeling of a piece of food or a pea stuck in my throat sometimes. Try doing neck stretches, and drinking hot tea, this might ease up some of the symptoms. If it gets really bad where you can't eat, try a mild muscle relaxer, this will get you through the really bad moments. Take care!

Yes, I have had, and still have, the tight throat symptom.Mine got to the point where food, or an Advil, or water, would stick in my throat...going neither up or down...just stayed stuck. I had some medical tests tone, since I was afraid that I was going to choke to death...and found that I had developed ulcers in my esophagus and stomach. THIS was caused by taking Advil for my jaw pain on an empty stomach and not swallowing enough fluid when I took them.I would try to swllow food, or liquids and get choked. It is very scary for me AND my family.
Also, the type of tightness that seems to be bothering you is very real. The muscles tighten in your neck and throat because your jaw is misaligned. It happens very often and is quite common among TMJ sufferers.It often feels like something is stuck in your throat when there is nothing there. Stress makes all of this worse. Get it checked out and by all means, if you take ANY meds....eat something and drink a lot of water when swallowing. Good luck.

Hi- I too suffer from the tight throat syndrome and think it is also associated with my Tinnitis.

Hi Guys!Thank you for the responses and the advice- it's good to know that other people experience the same problems and it's not just me!Lots of luck to all of you, and I hope you all find a solution and eventual freedom from TMJ x

I have the same problems and it has been created by a combination of an orthodontist and a general dentist by their criminal contribution. One of them destroyed my bite by unnecessary Invisalign treatment the other has grinded my normal teeth even without asking my permission and put higher size crown and bridges.
I have so severe symptoms that I'm thinking I will die. I have a feeling that something stuck in my throat and it doesn't move when I'm doing a swallowing action without food or water. It is extremely scary. I have pains that spread to the chest, scapulas, throat, ear, neck, skull, belly, legs and makes all my body seak.
Two years splint treatment didn't help and even made symptoms worse. I was getting up after 1 or 2-hours sleep all sweated because of spasm pains in my body.
Replacing the crowns and bridges and continues adjustment of my bite gave big improvement, but the throat function is still not right and makes me crazy. It causes spasm in my belly and leg muscles.
I'm having this problem already 8 years.

One time the feeling in my throat was so bad like some hard saliva in my throat making me to panic and causing an extremely bad headache. I started coughing very strong trying to get rid of that stuff in my throat, but of course, it just the feeling like something stuck in my throat.
Coughing so strong caused my right eyes membrane that attached to the retina to come off (posterior vitreous detachment). Now I have floats in my right eye which is annoying feeling.
Now every day I'm cursing the day that I met those criminal dentists.

Has anybody read my comment? Please respond. Thank you!
Remember, if any doctor changes your bite and jaw position immediately sue that doctor and do everything to put your jaw back its natural position asap.
Delaying the treatment creates complicated life-threatening problems.
