Hello docs. i was wondering can too much coffee cause tighness in throat?

Yes: Yes, coffee especially excessive amounts can lead to reflux and reflux can lead to irritation of the cricopharyngeus muscle. When it cricopharyngeus muscle's irritated it will tighten leaving to the feeling of a lump in your throat.
