Re: Throat feeling tight when lowering the head or lying down
Yes, I have - I think it was caused by clenching my jaw when really anxious.
My dentist gave me an exercise to do: roll your tongue backwards and touch the tip to your palate, and open your mouth as wide as you can without moving the tongue. As often as you can in the day.
I found pausing and checking whether my throat was feeling tight and doing an 'inside yawn' really brought home to me how tensely I was holding it. It's one of those things which wears off as you talk yourself through the worry.
