No you won't die, you sound like you have a cold. Have a menthol sweet to wdein your airways, I like fisherman's friends, they got a bit of a kick though.

If it disappears and then comes back when you think about it, try looking up posts on this site on Globus Hystericus. It is a anxiety symptom that causes your throat muscles to tense up, making it feel as if someone is squeezing your throat. If it happens to be this, you are likely to find that the tightness in your throat disappears whenever you eat or drink. Get it checked by your doctor in case its tonsilitis or something, but if they say theres nothing there to cause it, ask if it could be Globus. Globus is the same sensation you get when you watch a sad movie and you get that feeling of a lump in your throat from emotion. x
