For the past several months.. i started to notice a odd feeling in my throat.. i would ignore it.. and it eventually went away. it was like a strange tightening, in the middle of my throat.. right above my voice box. the strange knot feeling, even worse when i would swallow, is becoming worse. Its like a very scary discomfort.. In fact, I went to the ER as I had initially thought that I was having a severe allergic reaction to something. They took X rays.. too look at my eppiglotttis.. but they said it looked ok .. I am stymied. its like someone is literally taking their hand and choking me. Yet.. I can breath. I have a referral put in to see an ENT, and was told they will look further down my throat where the ER could not.. but.. this is really starting to scare me. I f anyone has any suggestions.. I would kindly appreciate it alot!! Sometimes.. when i swallow.. i can FEEL something there.. and my throat makes a noise upon swallowing. Like a clicking noise.. not real painful.. but enougrh to scare me.. and enough.. sometimes.. to make me feel like i cant breath. Like i am swallowing over something swollen.. then.. it just goes away! then.. comes back )-:
