Suggest Remedy For Discomfort And Choking Feeling In Throat

I have an uncomfortable feeling in my throat, and it feels like it s closing up and it s scaring me. This has been happening for a week or two and falling asleep is always impossible when you feel like you can t breathe. I don t want to worry for no reason because I m starting school soon and I can not be sick. Thanks in advance.

Hi

Welcome in HCM.

I understand your concern and I would like to say that feeling of choking in throat is because of inflammation in throat. Main reasons for this inflammatory swelling are-

1- GERD (gastro esophageal reflex disease).

2- Allergy.

3- Infection.

4- Trauma.

All above are managed easily after confirmation of diagnosis and that is possible only after thorough examination of your throat and some times with the help of endoscopic study. All these are possible by consulting your ENT doctor.

But for immediate relief you may take-

a- Steam inhalation.

b- Antacid.

I wish above answers your query.

Thanks.
