A member asked:
Fear of my throat closing for no apparent reason. is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ANXIETY: Sounds like anxiety. So are you asking if aanxiety gives this sensation or if your throat will actually close up? Your throat should not close up unless you have another illness like swollen glands or tonsils. The sensation of throat closing is called "globus hystericus", very apropos! you ought to speak to a physician and get an exam done and then get tratment for anxiety either therapy or both.
