Hello, it is a couple of months now that i experience a strange pressure near the trachea area. I have the impression that swallowing will be difficult but when i swallow it is normal. The pressure comes and goes,usually at night, and i don,t have any other disorders except from the fact that when i start feeling it my heart beat rises, i have a short breath and i think i get some kind of a panic attack because if i calm down this symptoms pass (the pressure remains).
This pressure gets worse after i eat or when i lay on my back and lean my head forward. Lately i am under a lot of stress and i don't know if i this is a phsycosomatic symptom (thinking about it seems to make it worse), or it is a real symptom of something. YOu sould know that i am 26 yers old and a heavy smoker.
