    You won't stop breathing.

    It's very common to feel your throat tight when anxious , nervous, sad...
    I get it quite often..
    No matter how uncomfortable it is, its not going to harm you.

    Hi gems,

    You wont stop breathing - its a sign of anxiety. Mine is like this and hightened wihen im anxious. Feels like i cant swollow and my throat is closing up...but the more you worry about it the worse it is (easier said then done).

    Please be reassured it is anxiety - try some adversion theraphy and do somthing to take your focus away from it ie watch a dvd read a book etc.

Im still breathing and its over a year ago, are you being treated for anxiety, depression or anything.What are your symptoms other than throat, if you read the old posts you will find a lot of similar things, trake care love Alexis,x

    Welcome aboard Gems!!

    No, you will not stop breathing even though it may feel like it sometimes. When you are anxious, you are actually breathing in more oxygen so you have nothing to worry about..

    Hi Gems,

    I've had the throat thing for 6 months now and have the same clicking as you describe, it's just the muscles tensing in your throat, you definitely won't stop breathing. It's just uncomfortable and you'll most likely find that when you feel a bit more relaxed it's not so bad.
