I dont know if this helps, but i had my tonsils out and weeks after that my throat kept on tighting to the point it felt like someone was strangling me. I went to the doctor many times, even thought it may have be thyroids. Everything came back negetive. I now believe it is my first sign of having a panic attack or being anxious. I also get the sensation of my tongue swelling (not helpful when i have a phobia of an anaphylactic fit). A friend of mine told me when i get that feeling, to sing. I did and i find that i does not relieve the tightness all together but it does help. I know how you feel, I am so sick of having a tight throat all the time.

Best of luck.
