A member asked:
I got hit in the throat with a pillow throw at my yesterday and it feels hard to breathe still. is this likely just anxiety? how much force to damage
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Play nicely!: There's wide variation involved. Damage is unlikely from the pillow, but your muscle reaction/stress response may combine to make the area feel worse. If there are times it feels OK, that's good. (if not, see Dr) Aim to extend them intentionally. Use this breath pattern: In thru nose - hold in lung - FULL blowing exhale thru lips. It can relax the tight throat muscles. Relax and, play nicely!
