i had this and it was fluid behind my ear. my eustacian tube was blocked which caused sore throat too. or it could be tmj. anxiety can affect this too due to tension in your jaws xx

I have tmj doctor told me that a few weeks ago.. It did go but now it's back πŸ™ˆ I don't have a sore throat just feels like it's really tight like I can't breathe 😩 Xx

I have had a tightness feeling in my throat before and it was just anxiety. It literally feels like your throat is is closing but nothing is really wrong and of course you're not going to suffocate. Try not to pay attention to it and it will pass. Check out this link: anxietycentre.com/anxiety/s...
