Hi Smilerayray92, did you go to the ER? What did they say? It sounds like intense anxiety and stress causing the tightness in your neck and throat. It doesn't mean that water and food wouldn't go down, the muscles are just tight. Drinking sips of water helps in lubricating the throat since when we are anxious the throat and mouth get very dry. Putting a hot towel on the back of the neck can help soothe the tight muscles as well. I would think what you are feeling in your neck is not a skipped heart beat but a quiver from the tightened muscles. Of course it is always better when in doubt to see the help of a doctor. I hope you are okay.
