Neck Injury: Certainly can be related if you had a traumatic neck injury. Concern would be a herniated disc if traumatic injury. Mri is right choice to evaluate.

Can GERD give you tight throat sensation and choking feeling sensation? I went to the ER since I thought food was stuck in my throat, but they never checked the inside, but said I can eat, drink and talk. Which means most likely nothing is there?

It isn't a pinched nerve, it didn't hurt at all.. it was more like neck tightness.. felt like someone was choking me.. now it's gone.. the huge question remains, WHY DO THEY COME AND GO? should I ask a doctor personally?

Throat always feels tight (choking feeling) when singing, talking not talking etc and the intensity varies daily and has been persistent for at least a year. What could this possibly be? Is it anxiety issues? It goes away with a muscle relaxer?
