    Hi, 

    When this is happening do you feel like you are having a panic attack or get other symptoms such as a racing heart ect. Do you suffer from anxiety at all? Because this can happen to me during an episode like my throat is closing up or something. It feels scary but you can talk to a doctor if you're worried about it.

    What happened to you is a very common symptom with people who has anxiety disorder. It just because of anxiety, stress, etc that make your brain thinks that as a threat so it will tighten your muscles in order to protect yourself. You will be okay. It's not harmful.
