Pressure in my throat, pressure in my jaw, but no symptoms of a sore throat.

Pressure in my throat, pressure in my jaw, but no symptoms of a sore throat, no problem swallowing.

I've been feeling like this for 2 weeks. I have no problem eating. Eating actually comforts me, and I dont feel it as much.

It first started as shortness of breath, with not being able to take a deep breath in, along with a lump in the throat feeling. The feeling that you feel when you want to cry. The sensation is now more pronounced. I feel the pressure in my adams apple area, and my jaw feels as if ive been chewing gum all day long. Is it possible that this is anxiety or a gastric problem. I belch alot but to no avail. Any responses are much appreciated!

It could be either, a little of both or something else entirely. I would urge you to make an appointment with your doctor, as soon as possible, especially for the shortness of breath. Only your doctor can tell you for sure what is going on. Please don't put it off any longer and let us know how you're doing, OK?
Peace
