I feel like its hard to breath when I get palpitations , heart races or I focus on my breathing :(
I too have had a tight throat for a year :( some days are worse than others .
Going to see an ENT next week so I hope to God I'll get some answeres as the sensation is always there n it's hard to ignore it and not get scared .

Sometimes I wake up in a panic , heart racing , vision funny , takes me a few minutes to fully wake up, then I feel like its hard to breath , like my cheast it too tight .
The more I focus on it the worse it gets .
I find breathing through my nose n sucking on a mint helps .
Slow breathing can help too n breathing in through your tummy instead of your chest .

I have a an actuall lump on my neck n I swear I can feel it too on the inside :(
But with you it could simply be reflux or if you suffer from acid .
Anxiety too can cause the throat mucles to tense up , so it can feel like your throat is too tight. I find wearing a scarf seems to lessen the sensation some how .

Have you been to the doctor about your throat ?
I've been tones of times n now I'm off to see a specialist .
If its really bothering there's no harm in getting checked up.
Honestly there's no reason that your throat would close up , it's more likely it simply feels too tight . As long as you can swallow water everything's ok.
