Does anyone experience throat tightness related to anxiety? Lately, it’s been daily for me. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Hi.

I’ve recently had this while I was out a few times..

In a coffee shop and a restaurant..the first time I didn’t cope very well with it I got up and went home ...it panicked me initially..then I realised what it was...I now know what it is so I do some relaxing mindful breathing and distractions...🌺🌺

My anxiety is always worse in the mornings ..but not had the throat tightness in the mornings, as yet..

It’s worth speaking to your dr, and getting checked out, he or she will possibly have some ideas to alleviate it ....

Good wishes 🌺🌺

Hi, have you tried mindfulness at all, also have you seen your doctor to just clear up any possible medical conditions, I doubt it is that but always a good first step. Otherwise I am not sure but it sounds uncomfortable and hate to see anyone suffer at all. Make sure you are seeing someone for the anxiety this is probably related to for suggestions to.
