constant tightness in front of neck/throat HELP!!!!!
hi there just joined forum.
I have had this tightness feeling in my throat for over 6 months now. it is very annoying and feels like someone is trying to strangle me!!!! i did have neck pain for over 2 years but that has subsided alot now. has anyone else experienced this constant feeling or any suggestions to what it could be? it does disappear when i lie down but reappears within a few minutes of standing.
i do check my posture every day as someone said it could be muscle tension in the front of the neck.
PLEASE HELP !!!!

hi, have you found a solution ?
Hi everyone ,
Like the most of you I am experiencing throat tightness in the base of my throat just on the top of the thorax when the two neck muscles meet.
I have been having this feeling for almost a year now .
The tightness did go away for a few months ( spring-summer) and it usually manifests when it’s cold.
When that tightness was at its lowest , I did have another small feeling next to my throat that felt like a bit of food was stuck .
I had blood tests for thyroid - came clean , ENT checked my neck and looked inside - clean , I had an ultrasound - clean .
The above do seems to point that the tightness is psychological and possibly stress , but like many of you the irritation is real and been going in for long.
It was interesting to read a persons response mentioning the neck muscles .
Before this tightness appearing , I was having a very weird soreness above my left clavicle - sort of a swelling across the bone till my shoulder . That caused to feel my left arm a bit funny as if that swelling was messing up the muscle/nerves.
I had an ultrasound on that and it came clean. I suspect that has to do with round shoulders syndrome and muscle scar tissue between shoulder and back wing .
So I am a bit lost now as the doctors can’t seem to help me with my inconvenience .
I am currently awaiting some results from the Endocrinologist but I am not sure what are the next steps to take .
Ct scan? Barium swallow ? These would remove the chance of something malicious I guess , and then maybe talk to a surgeon orthopaedist to investigate the possibility of my shoulder-clavicle-throat being all stuck together .

Hi please am going through same problem as u discussed for two years now, I ve being to the physician and have been given antibiotics with ibuprofen, citrizen always when I visit the physician and also told me to stop drinking cold drinks and eat more fruits, but I ve seen no improvement, so please keep me in touch when u get help somewhere.
I don't know the answer to why this is happening. I to have similar feelings. In my case most of the time i get a sharp pain on my right upper side above the breast. Than it starts to elevate with that tightness but it goes up my throat with pain. Breathing is difficult specially if I take a deep breath. It's happening frequently now.
I have same problem as you discuss ,doctor not understand what can I do,please help
