Within the last 24 hours, my throat feels as though it is tightening up right near my tonsils, not struggling to breathe too much, but it's all I can focus on, and the more I focus, the harder it becomes, or the more I focus, the more it becomes tighter. No pain. Nothing seems visually wrong near tonsil area. But it is really worrying. I have no trouble talking, eating or drinking although I feel the need to take deep breaths every once in a while, sometimes the breaths are satisfying. I'm not coughing up mucus or anything, or coughing at all for that matter. I'm 15 years old, female, and I just really need a possible, doesn't have to be definite, diagnosis before I ask my mum to book me a doctors appointment. I spoke on the phone with a nurse from the NHS (National Health Service) and she said it's probably just to do with anxiety and I need to distract myself. I just really need a second opinion, if there are any home remedies, like drinking more water or going out to get more fresh air. If it helps, I am currently on my period, just in case it has anything to do with that. Also, if this is helpful, I don't feel nauseous, nor do I have any health problems apart from the fact I am Vitamin D deficient, and I take Vitamin D tablets. The tightening sensation hasn't gotten any worse or better within the last 24 hours.
