Feeling a tightness around my neck

[sammiej123]

Thanks for taking time to reply. My GP doesn't think it is acid reflux - I don't get the lump in the throat but I get the feeling of being strangled - I have tried antacids, gaviscon etc no change.. It is really getting me depressed now..

I get a feeling of tightness almost a lump in my throat it’s so annoying and seems to be worse if I tilt my head up down or to the left or right
I can swallow fine so know it’s not a physical obstruction but it does stress me out and make my anxiety worse
You are not alone

90% of these symptoms are caused by tension through worry and or fear that something is medically wrong, its pure anxiety, as my old mum used to say 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'!!....

I always used to get this when I was having a really violent panic attack - it's a horrible feeling.
