    Ive had this for years! Feels like u got something stuck in ur throat! I suffer from anxiety and when you have a panic attack the muscles in your throat play up and give u this lump feeling! Try not to think bout it

      Alex.I feel just the same very often,and you know what,even though I am scared and also want to call an ambulance,I still wake up each morning!

      i have suffered with panic attacks for years and they are very scary.If possible go to your dr in the morning and ask for something like a beta blocker (propanolol)which does help.x

      Breathe in and count to five and then exhale through your mouth and count to five.Do this about half a dozen tines.It helps a bit.

      Believe me or not it appear to be anxierty and yes, it can act on you all day long.  I have lack of air, pressure on my chest and light headed basicaly 24/7.  It is starting to get slightly better specially the light headed with this new medication I started 2 weeks ago which is not exactly for anxiety.  But for sure you just can't lay back and say this is anxiety so your best option is to check with your Doc to see what test they can run on you so you know for a fact is not for real and maybe that way relax a little and let it go.
