Hi - my cest /throat feels like it's closing quite often. can it be caused of high cholesterol? i have also drank reflux tablets and i have taken asma pump to see if that might help. but it makes no difference.. what could be the cause?

Throat closing: The sensation of “throat closing” is most commonly due to anxiety, but you need a thorough medical evaluation to be sure. High cholesterol, asthma and reflux are not likely causes.
