Sudden feeling of tightness in my throat.

[Beauregard]

Started about an hour ago,feels like the tightness you get if you are fighting back tears iykwim?.
Quite uncomfortable,any ideas?

please?

Are you feeling panicky/anxious about anything?

Yes it could be anxiety, is your tongue ok?

I feel anxious now as i am worried about my throat but wasn't consciously feeling anxious prior to it coming on.

hiya, sounds like a panic attack pelvic, i have them a few times a year.

you need to lie down, or sip some water, pref war water.

breathe slowly.

tongue is fine.

Ok, have you eaten anything spicy or that coud poss not agree with you?

Sounds like anxiety to me too

Once it starts it can hang around for a few days

oh sod
thanks
When will it go?

pelvic, i too have them come like that,

out of noowhere. it alsways amazes me that i can be very upset, down abotu something, and have been thru some awful times---and no panic attack,

yet one can be feeling fine, and they can come

normally i get them cos there is soemthing niggling me deep down, or i need a good cry.

Deep breaths, take it easy, listen to some relaxing music or...mnet all evening and keep to the funny threads

I get panic attacks too - hate the buggers!

Yes does sound like a pannic attack brought on by anxiety. Have you any rescue remedy in your house? I was recommended it on here a couple of weeks ago due to these feelings and now I swear by it

Does it hurt when you swallow?

I had something similar a couple of years ago and had to see the doctor. I was prescribed Diclofenac (??) which is an anti-inflammatory iirc.

not eaten anything to set it off.
I was mopping the floor when it started ,talking to dp about another of my so called friends who also seems to have dumped me.
I suppose that may be why it's started but i felt ok at the time.

Oooh a friend mentioned that to me - said it was good...where can you buy it and does it leave you spaced out or just suitably chilled?

i have jus gone on msn pelvic if u need me, will be back and forth.

concentrate on the tv or something, it helps to distract yourself.

Doesn't hurt when i swallow just feels tight like before you cry.
Yes have some rescue remedy will take some now.

'talking to dp about another of my so called friends who also seems to have dumped me.'

that would be why maybe, more upsetting or anger making than you realised???

Ahh, there you go - you are probably upset about the friend...want to talk about it? Here for you if need to talk, if not

Or...(joking now) you could be in shock when realised you were mopping floor when could be mnetting

just mopping the floor would do it for me lol!!

Thanks pirate.

Hope you feel better soon xxx

Thanks everyone,what would i do without you lot!

Like pirate said it is funny how you can feel really ok and the panic sets in and yet when you aren't ok it doesn't.
If that makes sense?
