What Causes Constant Fluttery Sensation In Throat?

default
Posted on Wed, 6 Jan 2016
Question: I have been having fluttery feeling in my throat...
Only three times in 2 weeks.
no shortness of breath...I just panic a little when it happens.
I have been a little stressed lately but dont really feel stressed when it happens.
my blood pressure is ok..
114/76. pulse 84bpm
Could it be stress related - I recall having my thyroid checked with a blood test about 3 years ago and nothing picked up.

Brief Answer:
Physical vitals are good

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes fluttery feeling can happen with stress. The symptoms associated with Stress can mimic a lot of organic problems.

Since the vitals of BP, Pulse are good I am not concerned. Please get a blood sugar, Lipid profile tests done at your convenience. Deep and very slow breathing can help. Also salt water gargles eliminates unwanted bacteria causing such feeling in the throat.

All the best.
