A member asked:
Notice when i pinch my trachea i get a sensation of itchiness & i dry cough. yr rnd. this suggests pinch is aggravating an irritation already there.

Sounds normal: The tracheal area of the front of the neck is very sensitive, which makes sense since there are a lot of important structures around there. Pressing on that area is supposed to trigger an unpleasant sensation and a cough. I don't think there is anything wrong.
