A member asked:
What causes muscle spasm in the throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things..: The causes are many, so when i see patients with this symptom, i start by asking about recent stressors, anxiety, symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, any new medications they're taking, associated symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, wheeze)... And then i'd think about getting an esophagram, and consultation with ENT if the problem's persisting.
