pressure in my throat feels like I'm suffocating or my throat is closing.

That simple it is a form of anxiety attack

I have the same thing happening now.. I found out its acid reflux.. Sometimes when I'm laying down, I wake up suddenly to catch my breath. I take a large gasp of air.. It happens a few times a week...the acid relux has also caused swollen lymph nodes in neck and enlarged thyroid which doesn't help... If it keeps happening you need to go see a Otolaryngology and a Endocrinology..if left untreated it can get worse. People don't realize how much damage acid reflux can cause.. It can throw your body way out of wack and cause heart trouble too.. Btw I eat a few slices of a red apple called Mcintosh.. Every time. My acid relux flares up.. It works great to get rid of the stomach acid from having acid reflux... GL on getting the best of help and a fast recovery..

i've been feeling like my throat is closings and like a pressure in the back of my throat .but its off and on mostly when im outside i dont have a cough or my throat is not sore just pressure i guess or something stuck in the back of my throat its been going on for 3 months now i went to my Dr and he gave my a shot and 10 day of antibiotics thinking it was an std or something but nothing changed . thinking about going to a specialists but idk . now im thinking maybe it chemtrails . when im in bed i dont feel it or when i stay in doors all day in fine as well 

I have been really suffering with similar symptoms. I have pressure and swelling/ inflamed feeling in my neck and under my chin- deep in the throat. I had been taking Steroids up until two days ago which were causing a bit of acid reflux- so could this be the cause of my discomfort? The doc has given me ant-acids but the feeling is so awful and it just keeps getting worse. Does anyone know how long the antacids take to work? Are there any other home treatments to reduce the swollen feeling? thanks

I felt like this for two years with all blood test being normal. Doctors said it was anxieties until.one day my heart rate went up to 160 and at E.R. I demanded retesting for thyroids guess what it finally showed on blood test.

You are 100% correct on the...if you forget about your fine...I have been told due to pulsing in my abdomen they reckon it's stress & reading all the posts yours has really eased me...I have looked & throat cancer as you do etc..I train at the gym loads & guess what it's not there until I think about it...let's all try & stress less ..thx oh I'm going to try some reflux medicines if I find one that helps I shall return ;) x

My doctor said that i have only a sore throat but im one that when i get a sore throat it only gets red and itchy, but this is diff my throat feels like it is closing slowly every day. i stay up for hours trying to keep my throat moist but it just keeps getting worse.

Plz any one with any advise to what to do please dont heasitate to reply

I spent years being always tired, always cold, always feeling like my throat was swollen, and doctor after doctor has said I was fine, ever since I was 19.  Blood tests for hormone levels and iron levels were all good.  Eight months ago I found a naturopath who diagnosed me with adrenal exhaustion, and I'm finally getting help.  I started blogging about it at

Have you been to a naturopath?

Hi Dave,
I know what you are feeling as I have the same symptoms you are experiencing, I had it about 4 years ago and it went away on its own after a month. Now its back and I just found this link to what I think is a great explanation. Its not serious and you will recover soon.

Good Luck

I cannot believe the doctor told you that not only was he unable to figure out what was wrong but also that you were to young to have anything seriously wrong! Wow! Im 29 and had been having problems for years. Everything from anxiety/panic to weight gain/loss, irritable, choking feeling in my neck which just got worse as time l went on. Last year l was diagnosed by a specialist as being in thyroidtoxicosis! I could have died! They removed my thyroid within a week after being diagnosed. I feel much better! But l still get that pressure feeling in my throat a few times a week. I notice it more when im laying down but mine comes and goes and only lasts a few seconds. If l were you l would definately get a second opinion and go see a specialist just to be sure.

I think everyone needs to look at taking Gluten out of their diet when it comes to this feeling. A lot of people have an underlying Thyroid issue that is auto immune thus we must also look at Celiac disorders as well. Removing Gluten can vastly improve the health of those above and open up the answer to a lot of their problems.

I had a two-yer old granddaughter die of causes unknown.  Her family has a history of Factor 5.  It looks to the coroner that death was of natural causes.  The police however, feel it is something more sinister.  This has caused our family much suffering and pain.  How would a two-year old convey this to their parents?  Please help me understand.

 . I am curious to.know.what diagnosis.you.finally got . please get back with me as soon as you can . I'm grateful for any help.

Have the doctors check for LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease). It is an acid reflux that is in the throat. It has a lot of smptoms of allergies. Coughing, post nasal drip, feeling like there is a lump in your throat, horseness. I am dealing with this right now. I have had so many tests and they all come back clear until they put a scope down my throat and saw that my Esophagus was swollen which is a tell tale sign of LPR. The treatment i am on is prilosec daily. The only problem is that it could take several months to feel any relief from the medication. I have found that a lot of doctors dont know what LPR is (i have had 3 ask me "whats that"). Good luck, I hope this helps
