throat tightness
It feels like there is a tightness or something in the very bottom of my throat -been like this for about 5 days - I do neck exercises where I bend my head back to stretch my neck - could this have irritated something?
I already take Pepcid, Mucinex and an allergy pill - is it possible eating too many tomatoes lately could cause this. I recently went on a low carb diet and it seems this happened within the first week of it. Also heard that apple cider vinegar is good for acid reflux, your views on that??

Hello,
The few common possibilities of your symptoms are acid reflux/GERD, post nasal drip, throat infection, enlarged tonsils etc. Try doing warm saline gargles. That might help. This is only an advice and not a substitute for medical examination. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Keep me posted with more queries. Hope it helped.
Best wishes and regards!
