Do they feel swollen? The reason I say this is that throughout my panic attack/anxiety/depression at its height I have severe pain in my throat caused by my thyroid gland producing too much cortisol (seen consultant three times over this as I didn't believe them either) and it does actually work now - i.e. when I'm really stressed and start hyperventilating my throat swells, I gag and I get breathless really easily. The results from this are that I have severe pain in my throat. Hope this helps - may be worth talking this through with your doctor. My mum had throat cancer twenty years ago (still very much alive, well and kicking, but the syptoms were very different).
I, also get major panics thinking I'm going to die of such and such and know how debilitating this can be. Also remember that if you are in a place/house/store with air conditioning this brings the condition on as it dries the sinuses and causes the throat to constrict - so try and put all this together and see if there is some similarities?
Hope I'm of some use
