feels like lump in my throat and feel like i cant breathe

hey I had that when I was about 10 years old and I still remember how horrible it was. I never went to the doctor tho. it lasted me about a year then all of a sudden my life was great again....good luck! and dont worry its not a serious illness, but its still a very frustrating thing.

When I read about the lump feeling in your thoat I was amazed at how many other people have had or still have the same feeling I once had. I had a very rough year and for some reason my body created a lump feeling in my thoat as if there was something lodged in my throat now when I ate I never felt it nor when I drank but just sitting there swallowing thats all I felt and all I could think of, My husband,mom and friend thought I was crazy for feeling like there was something in my throat but thats exactly what I was feeling and it was driving me nuts!!!! I thought I had throat cancer everything I had this feeling for about 6 months untill I finally wen tto a health store and there was a Naturopath and I just thought what the heck I 'm gonna ask her even if I sound weird and I did she knew right away whatI was feeling finally someone didn't look at me like I was missing something lol she gave me this stuff call (Rescue Remedy)Please look this up she told me to put 4 drops undr my tongue every three hours for at east a month untill the feeling went away... so I did and AMAZING it went away I felt as if I won a million dollars I was so happy finally the worst feeling I had that lasted months finally went away! Now I do have anxiety but I take this to control it without going on meds it's funny how our bodys reacts to stress but thats what it was stress and anxiety that was causing my body to feel the lump sensation in my throat sometimes people not understanding can make us feel even more worried about things so I am glad I went to the Naturopath that day if it wasn't for her I don't think it would have ever went away I even talked to my doctor who had no clue why I was feeling this way so trust me this work look it up on the computer ittells you everything about it it basically help our bodys to adjust to everyday stresses without causeing these weird feelings of being sick or a lump anyway hope this help it did for me :-)

I was put on a muscle relaxer (ativan). I felt better in a few days. I was told it was anxiety. I don't know if this is what you need but it helped me.

I have the same feeling but also it feels like i have a pain in the right side of my neck i so scared i went to Dr he said he sees nothing in my ear or throat but its still happening i plan to go to E.R IN MORNING

I have been having this feeling on and off over the last few months and it has made me lose many nights of sleep. I freak out at night and my anxiety kicks in because I feel like I can't breathe or swallow yet I have no pain, no redness, and have no trouble swallowing food or beverages. I am surprised at how many people actually have this sensation. I have had it for years on and off and never really paid attention to it until now. It seems to not want to go away. It recently got worse when I had an anxiety attack (worse one I ever had) and they prescribed a medication called Hydroxyzine. It's supposed to be used for anxiety and allergies. It doesn't help for the lump but it knocks me out so I can sleep. I'm scared to see a doctor fearing the worse. Now that I have seen all your posts, it really gives me some relief to know it may be stressed/anxiety related. Everytime night falls, I get so anxious to go to bed because the lump is worse when I lay down. I am going to try the Rescue Remedy that one of the posters suggested. I just want this horrible feeling gone. Thanks for listening. :-|

LThank you, you have put my mind at ease i will certainly try the drops. i had myself convinced that something terrible was wrong with me, iv had the lump feeling for just over three months but have been going through a stressful time so at least now i know that is probably what is causing it. Thank You
