For a while now I’ve been experiencing an odd sensation in my throat.
I find it really hard to explain, but it feels cold, tight and uncomfortable. Occasionally It also feels tickly.
For the past few days this sensation has really intensified and it feels different to normal.
I haven’t got a continuous cough and it’s not affecting my chest, but I do feel like there’s tight band around the bottom of my ribs if I take a deep breath in.
The sensation in my throat is just awful and I have no idea what it could be, but it’s causing me so much anxiety.
I suffer with anxiety and OCD both of which have been very bad recently, but I’m really not sure that anxiety can cause a sensation this bad in my throat??
It seems to come and go throughout the day.
Could this be a coughing episode if I’m not actually vocally coughing? Does that make sense?
The sensation is really starting to panic me and I’ve considered calling 111 but I don’t want to waste their time.
I’m thinking of ordering a test to rule out covid.
If you’ve tested positive; does this symptom sound familiar??
