Can gerd and anxiety give you tight throat sensations, my throat gets so tight that i feel like i'm about to choke. is this a common symptom and other throat issues?

Anxiety often results in these symptoms. GERD may cause throat irritation. Control GERD after discussion with your physician. Reduce anxiety with exercise and maintain a healthy sleep schedule Watch for signs of nausea, vomiting and cough.
