Adamj our bodies are made up of muscle which tend to tighten and get stiff whennot using them. As for the throat muscles, we tend to feel our emotions within our

throat making us feel as if we cannot swallow. Sometimes may feel tight like a lump

in your throat. This is one of the symptoms of Anxiety.

Of course, always check with your doctor if it continues. I can only go by my

own experiences in having had that at one time. Also make sure you are well

hydrated because a dry throat can make it uncomfortable to swallow as well.

You see when we are tense, scared etc, we tend to mouth breathe which causes

the mucous membranes to dry. After hydrating, try breathing through your nose

keeping your mouth closed. Again have your doctor address this if it continues to

be an issue. xx
