I am a 38 year old male with a history of intense episodes of HA.
These last couple of weeks I have been obsessing over my throat. After going back to work after the summer, it feels strange. It is not as if I am coming down with a cold. It it rather a strained/irritated feeling in my throat. It can be likened to the feeling after having hyperventilated to the point of straining the 'air tubes'; the feeling after snoring for an entire night; the feeling after running/bicycling in rainy, windy, cold weather. A slightly 'rough', dry, and strained sensation (rather than pain) in the top of the throat.
I have been trying to explain it away with air humidity, colder temperatures, strained voice, mild gastric reflux etc. But I am constantly obsessing over this being 'deadly', 'not ever going away'. I am fixating on checking/feeling whether the sensation is gone. Feels better after eating/drinking. But always comes back. It is there when I wake up and stays on top of my mind throughout the day. I am totally going crazy! Please help!
