    Im thinking its your lymphatic system is slowing down the thoratic duct runs right next to your throat which pulls lymph fluid upward from stomache area through your head back and legs sinus problems can cause this medication.

      it does tend to lessen when the general anxiety lessens, but can seem torturous and last a very long time as long as the anxiety lasts. the hard part is that the feeling on its own is enough to keep the anxiety going. Its a hard thing to deal with

    I've just got the same demon the past 2 days now, and no clearance yet'

    Try tiger balm or a heat patch made with chilli (can get them at asian grocers)

    Drink teas (any hot tea) gotu kola and ginger tea is good' also use black pepper if you can enjoy it within foods.

    Throat lump ( THIS CONDITION IS KILLING ME ) pharmaceutical drugs are not  the answer or remedy yet!!!

    After years and YEARS of getting this sensation, I can tell you what I

    believe it is.  It's just plain old MUCOUS. I will ask each one of you a

    question and be as accurate and honest as you can.  HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU DRINK A DAY.  It is very possible this will help us all

    a whole lot. Not iced water, not super hot either.  Water breaks up

    mucous and I am almost positive the stuck feeling (pill feeling) is

    mucous. I quit dairy, thought I never would, it helped alot. I always need

    to drink more clean pure water, even for anxiety. WATER. It helps me.

      I just had to write this.the lump in throat could be acid reflux. If so you can get spasm of the asophagus. one thing that can cause that is gas. and that can cause the spasm.i used to take domperidome or mortilium something like that. good for sickness and you guessed it wind.dont have too much. as it gives you alot. it will ease the throat. i also took landsoprasol as well for acid reflux guidance only this

    Brambles,

    I get this when I am upset or sometimes when I am very anxious. It is just as you describe...a phlegm like lump that comes and goes.

    Try not to let it frighten you...it is anxiety and nothing more. you will be okay.
