I too get the swollen throat sensation apparently tension pulls on your throat cords and makes it feel tight and pulled i also have got a feeling like im swallowing over an oyster
its like a lumpy feeling behind my tonsil the doc says i have fluid in ear and blocked eustachian tubes

My doctor tends to think that eusatchian tube problems are causing my problems apparently when you are anxious this tight throat feeling is excasperated and all the muscles in your throat tighten and cause pressure
yukky isn't it?wish you the best

Stacy,
Another poster has replied to you calling this throat sensation 'Globus Hystericus' and this is exactly what it sounds like. Ihad exactly the same 2 years ago. Iwas referred to an ENT specialist who could find nothing wrong. My GP then told me he thought I was stressed. Within 6 months I went into a severe depression. Now the depression is under control I no longer have this throat feeling. It was my bodies way of trying to make me chill out and relax.
Acid reflux is also related to stress and anxiety. What meds are you on ??
Try and relax, Chris
