Does anyone else experience having a tight feeling in the throat that can last for hours to days?

Yes ALL DAY.

Yes, had it for 6 months straight back when I thought I had throat cancer because of OCD

Yes. Also have tightness in stomach and chest sometimes. Convinced I was having heart attack and just OCD

Yes, pressure feelings and muscle tension is normal with OCD and anxiety. I went through days with an intense pressure in my head and I was convinced I had a brain tumor! It was just anxiety mixed with some allergies

I had ENT visit last week where they scoped my throat with a camera because it got so bad.

I’ve had this on and off for years. I had multiple doctor appointments and tests and everything came back fine. Eventually it turned into this obsession that I was having an allergic reaction to everything I ate. Then I would check my throat in the mirror a few times an hour until I was convinced I wasn’t dying. it’s kind of embarrassing to admit this. Still happens a few times a month but it used to be all day everyday.

Yes. It's very hard to sing while feeling that and I gotta do it every Saturday and Sunday at church?

YES and I’m a professional singer so this is the worst!! Haha

yes all the time! it also makes it so hard to breathe and you feel like your gonna get your airway cut off because of the pressure. it’s awful

I am so thankful (I know its not the greatest feeling) but I thought i was the inly one and it was completely not OCD related but i think it is.

Yes, but mine is due to something else with a mix of anxiety

It’s interesting. I’ve been diagnosed with dysphonia, and am seeing a specialist next week for video of vocal cords, but the throat itself gets soooo tight. Trying to figure out patterns: emotional, food-related, stress (even good stress like working out). I can’t find a pattern, but my throat pain and tightness did improve immediately after seeing Structural Integrationist who worked on neck. Improvement does not last, but it helps immediately after. Makes me wonder about stress and neck musculature.

I think i may need to see someone about it because I feel it’s definitely stress/ anxiety related, and i’m getting sick of it.

Maybe try a good ENT first. Get recommendations from your primary or from online. It always helps me to have a doc who is OCD-friendly, and not dismissive. The ENT could then recommend you to a SLP
