    Could be allergies too. I have that problem and it constantly feels like there's something in the back of my throat. It's post-nasal drip. I think anxiety can cause throat tightening too though. Either way, it's probably not a serious problem. I

    'm by no means a professional though [this is coming from someone who once convinced herself she had throat cancer or something because of the symptoms I just described lmao] and if it gets any worse or anything you should probably get it checked out. But I'm willing to bet it's nothing serious.

      Np! I get it completely, I have that problem too. Allergies are a very common problem and for me it felt like there was something in the back of my throat. I convinced myself it was a tumor [thanks to google, of course] and then when I finally brought it up to my parents [didn't tell them what I thought it was, just told them the symptom/s] my dad told me he has that all the time and that it's post nasal drip lmao.

      I imagine it could be that with you. Or anxiety. Or acid reflux, actually. It can cause problems in your throat and with swallowing too. I have that as well and it's annoying. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between that and allergies unless it's obvious.

      Yes they say my levels are normal, I've been tested twice, but I personally feel they've overlooked something. 😟

      Our souls say the same thing:They miss something.This is unfortunately so overwhelming...I have tried everything to relieve myself but nothing helps.I have an invisible wire across my neck,collar bone,someone squeezing me all the day long...All muscles on my neck both frontal and back ones are like a stone.I want to pierce all of em with a kind of knife or needle...
