What would cause my throat to feel this way?!
Question: I've been having this problem for about a week now and it's starting to bother me and its also annoying. It feels like my throat is tightening up or it feels like my throat muscles are tight. Sometimes when I swallow it feels like there is something stuck in my throat. I can breath just fine and I'm not wheezing or anything like that. But this feeling in my throat causes me to swallow more often. My throat isn't sore. Sometimes it feels like my throat is swollen. What could be causing this? Are there any home remedies for this?

Sometimes people develop esophageal strictures which usually don't develop overnight. Also sometimes, food might get caught in a pre-existing hiatal hernia which could cause you to have a full feeling in your esophagus. And sometimes, food actually can get lodge in the throat and stay. But considering that you say you are able to swallow, I would rule that out. I would schedule an appointment with my family doctor, if I were you, to rule out any of these things and find out what is going on.
Try rubbing Vicks on your throat. If this doesnt work, try rubbing on a muscle rub such as A 535. You should get your family doctor to send you to an ENT, ear, nose and throat specialist to be sure there is nothing wrong. My aunt had this problem and it turned out there was a cyst on her thyroid gland. Get this looked into.
