My friend has been dealing with a lump like feel in her throat and had this for 3 days and she has been panicking like crazy. Does anxiety cause this where it feels like your chest is tight and that you feel like you not getting enough air into your lungs even though you are? I don't know if this is anxiety or an emergency. Please help. She was totally calm, until this started happening to her..
anxiety can cause you to feel like there is a lump in your throat, like you can’t get enough air in as well as chest tightness. I hope she’s OK by now. next time this happens, she needs to do proper breathing for anxiety because it makes a huge difference! There are some great breeding meditations on YouTube that really calm you down! Also great anxiety meditations. she can also get a check up at her doctors for her peace of mind.
Thank you Jan so much. She's doing much better now and thank you for replying. We took your advice on some helpful breathing meditation on Youtube for anxiety and she felt so relieved. I was so worried for her.
Could be bad anxiety,could also be from acid reflux that carries the acid all the way up to the throat. I had that happen to me,had a lump in the throat sensation for a long time.
I don't have the throat problem but I do have trouble breathing and my chest gets really tight for no apparent reason. Definitely sounds like an anxiety attack. Staying calm as possible and slowing the breathing down can help. Always a good idea to get checked by a dr though to rule out anything else. I hope your friend gets this figured out soon.
