Does Anybody Else Have Tightness In Their Throat, And Mild Throat/ear Pain?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Denver, CO

Hi!
I have been having a weird tight feeling in my throat- sometimes it feels like I can’t swallow correctly, mostly with just saliva. When I eat and drink, the swallowing is better. The tightness can feel like a lump at times, in a very specific part of the throat.
Does anybody have this issue, or know if it is PCOS related?
It’s driving me crazy and Web MD thinks I’m dying lol. Help!

A myPCOSteam Member

I have trouble swallowing when I'm anxious or having a panic attack. It's terrifying because it feels like you're going to choke but it always passes.

Martinsville, IN

Though I wasn't having side effects, 10mg wasn't cutting it for the extreme mood shift. Like clockwork, 5 days before my period it's like a switch and I'm hit with sudden anxiety which then fuels a level of depression. It seems to peak on day 3 of my period then goes by end of day 4 as quick as it came. I'm not currently taking… read more
