A member asked:

Can a heart issue cause like tightening of the throat with neck, jaw pain and tongue feeling almost like when eating something sour and salivating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: but so can problems in a tonsil, vocal cords or other structures in the neck such as lymph nodes. See your doctor or consult with a neurologist and/or ENT right away.
