HELLO WELSHFOX,
There is a condition which my wife suffers from that
sounds much like the symptoms you are describing,
Do you know that there is a lump in your throat, or does
it feel as if there is, with my wife she feels as if there is
a golf ball in her throat. Before she was diagnosed
she was very worried about it, the worry made the
sensation in her throat feel 10 times worse.
Any way to cut to the chase this condition is stress
related, if you are worried it causes the muscles
in your throat to tense, thus agrivating the blocked throat
feeling.
But please go to the docs to get it checked out.
good luck.
