67 years old. I get this tightness in my throat a lot when eating out. My only fast relief is to go to the bathroom and cough up what ever I have had to eat. Stringy meats, breads some cereals like shredded wheat are the worst. When my throat tighten up i can't even swallow my saliva. I've tried those acid reflux pills no help. I feel like if I could just burp and get some air up this wouldn't happen but I never have any luck doing that. Anyone that finds some relief please reply. I'm thinking it might be stress related or maybe it is bad posture like someone mentioned.
