I’ve been feeling the exact same way for 4 weeks as well! Hard to accept it’s anxiety, as its from the minute I wake up until the minute I go to bed just like you. No amount of antidepressant, deep breathing or distraction eases this feeling.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been to the ER 7 times and my oxygen has been perfect every single time despite feeling like my airways are closing.

It’s such a scary feeling, but try to take comfort in the fact that its been going on for 4 weeks, yet your airways have not closed up even though they feel like they will. If it hasn’t happened by now, it won’t happen at all!

I wish you good luck and hope we can overcome this!

Your throat has a lot of muscles. Yes it’s very common it’s tension. It’s like when you were a little kid and you tried not to cry. They also use the term I’m getting all choked up. Again it’s a common thing with anxiety.

I’m guessing this can last for a month and a bit cause that’s how long I’ve had it about 5weeks now

If it comes and goes yes anxiety. If it’s more of a chronic symptom I would lean more to an allergies it’s that time of the season.
