Pressure in throat

Posted , 2 users are following.

I woke up with a feeling of pressure in my throat, slight pain when dry swallowing and it hurts a little when I turn my head. I do have a non toxic goiter, but the pressure when raising my arms is new. ibuprofen stopped the pain, and it doesn't hurt to swallow liquid or food. also have a history of allergies. I'm a little nervous about the pressure.

    I would get this checked out by a doctor. A feeling of pressure in throat and/or arms could be something quite simple like your sleeping position but it could also be heart related. Do see your doctor Deborah.

      Thank you. I'm actually feeling better since taking my allergy meds. mostly now its just a small tightening of the skin under my chin, the closing in feeling is gone.
