wow, it's really great to see so many people sharing their own symtoms and thoughts here.

i've been having this choking, swelling kind of feel in my throat area on and off for quite some years now. in some good days, i can go through a whole day without feeling any discomfort, while others i feel it all the time. like some other people here have said about their own symtoms, mine seems to be better in the morning when i wake up and worse as the day goes on as well.

another problem with mine, which i'd like to know if anyone else share too, is that i feel the constant urge to let small amount of air out from my throat whenever i have this problem. it's not like the burps that we have after a food or carbonated drinks, but small ones that i feel i have to induce in order to make my throat feel temporarily better, but the blocked up/choking feeling goes right back after the small burps... really frustrating!

i just recently realised that it might be relating to neck problems. i've had neck problems for years, stiff and pain sometimes. i find that the throat and neck problems happen together a lot. it probably makes sense since they share the same area in our bodies. i wonder if it's that when the neck stiffs up, the throat gets 'squeeze' and therefore it affects the air flowing in the area. ...

no doctors have been able to give any reasonable explanations. human bodies are so complicated, but incompetent doctors are a dime a dozen too!

I've had the same thing for about 20 years!!!! I had my thyroid removed about 4 years ago (it was growing substernally) and things have gotten worse. I have never found a doctor (I think I have seen every specialist)who
could help. It's very daunting. I just live with it. I can't even wear turtlenecks anymore because the pressure and choking sensation are magnified so much. If you find an answer PLEASE PLEASE email me.

After reading all these post (Although I have suffered with these same symptom for more then a year now) knowing that I was not the only one out there with this issue. I have the same tight somtimes stabbing feeling in my throat and hard time catching my breath. Also I have noticed that I get eye strain as well. I have had blood pressure test and MRI, altrsound od my neck. And the Doctors seem to have no idea what the problem is. However I do differnt slightly from some of you in that I do have Hypothroidism. As well as a form of Enemia (Mediterrain). I think we all suffer from somthing familair and whats odd is that I have three Children and two of them have told me (out of the Blue) that they are having the same symptoms. I really wish I know what to do. Also as with you guys I find that drinking warm beverages does help. I wish we could all start a support group!!!

have you checked out your cervical spine? It could be an anterior derangement of the lower cervical spine. If so, contact any Mckenzie trained physio in your area.

I have the same problem. My neck feels full. Is okay in the morning, but gets worse throughout the day. I have a hard time breathing now as well. Specifically when eating. I also get burping sensations, and begin to feel a little better once I burp a bit, bit still still fill fullness. I'm trying to rule out everything. THey said all my blood test are normal. And they have completely ruled out Thyroid. I did an Antibodies test, normal, everything is coming back normal. I'm just frusturated. The only thing that has helped me is something called Noni Juice from the health food store. If you try it, get the 100% organic USDA approved, or something with no grape juice in it. But Noni in the morning and at night has helped me a great deal. I'm just tired of feeling this way. On top of this, I'm a vocalist, and my esophogas feels a mess when I sing. My tonsils are okay they even but a camera up my nasal passage to see the back of my throat and everything seemed normal. Not sure whats up. I just pray that my pain , our pain..goes away soon. Good luck to you all

masterbation linked i think not...........

I also have this same problem, ive had it for about 1 year and some months i dont get it at all, but sometimes i can have it for a full month.

It is on my left handside of my throat, where you would check for a pulse or to see if my glands are swollen. It is a kind of pressure in that area and fades on and off.

Sometimes it can be that bad feels like my head is going to pop,

Hi Everyone. First of all I had a huge laugh about the masturbation comment. Too silly actually to comment further on except to say that it is truly amazing how idiotic some people can be. I have been told by doctors that not using the sexual equipment can indeed lead to prostate cancer. I don't masturbate much anymore because my new wife can't get enough sex but during the ten years I was single I did it often, maybe once a day. My prostrate is just fine and I am 59.
I have been suffering from these same throat pressure symptoms for about 6 months now. It gets better and then gets worse. My doctor gave me Aciphex for acid reflux. My stomach feels a lot better now; I haven't taken a tum for weeks but this damn tightness in my throat still persists.
I feel sometimes like I have a sinus or ear infection. I massage my saliva glands on my jaw and that sometimes gives some relief.
I was sorry to hear about but glad to read about other people's experiences with this problem. Now I don't feel so alone with this problem. Mine is usually worse in the evenings. I had a heart problem leading to angioplasty and stent implant in 1995. I take Zocor, Tramadol, Amitryptiline, Aspirin and Bisoprolol for high blood pressure. That's a lot of meds. I asked my doctor if one or more of them is causing this tightness in my throat. He said no, that it was acid reflux and gave me the Aciphex. Perhaps it just takes a long time to heal? I sympathize with the way everyone who posted here feels about such alarming symptoms. It is extremely distressing to have this choking feeling. I have wondered if I had cancer or thyroid problems, even wondered if this was the beginning of a terminal illness. No answers yet but I will be praying for all of you.
Best wishes to all,
Carl
