When your throat feels tight and dry, your first thought is probably to wonder if you’ve picked up a cold or virus. But if you don’t have noticeable cold or allergy symptoms, you may wonder why does my throat feel tight?
A tight-feeling throat could point to one of several conditions related to your gastrointestinal tract – so it may be time to call your gastroenterologist. You may not have heard of some of the following conditions, but they’re more common than you think.
They can be easy to treat, but first, you have to know what to look for.
A cricopharyngeal spasm is when the muscle located at the top of your esophagus squeezes too tightly. It makes swallowing very uncomfortable. Also called the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), its job is to open to allow food and liquid to pass into the esophagus and then close again.
People experiencing cricopharyngeal spasms may feel like they have something large stuck in their throat. They may also experience choking or a feeling that their throat is tightening. The exact cause of cricopharyngeal spasm is unknown, but it may be related to neurological issues, acid reflux, or inflammatory conditions.
That tightness in your throat that you may think is allergies could be caused by inflammation or swelling resulting in an esophageal stricture. The swelling makes the opening of the esophagus smaller, which you feel as tightness. Esophageal stricture can cause other symptoms, like:
It’s often caused by stomach acid backwashing into the esophagus, which happens in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
When stomach acid creeps up into your esophagus, your throat can feel sore and tight. Occasional heartburn can cause symptoms like that, especially after a large meal. Long-term symptoms may indicate GERD. When heartburn or GERD is the cause, you may also have symptoms like:
Sometimes, you can prevent symptoms by avoiding foods that trigger heartburn. Avoiding food at least three hours before bed, or elevating the head of your bed to help stomach acid stay in your stomach. Over-the-counter antacids may help, but if not, it’s best to call your doctor.
Like GERD, LPR is a condition caused by stomach acid traveling up into your esophagus. The difference is that with LPR, acid travels all the way up to your throat or larynx (voice box). GERD and LPR can happen together.
It can often be treated successfully with lifestyle changes, like diet changes or weight loss. Over-the-counter medications can help, but if not, it’s best to call your doctor.
When you have a sore, tight throat, you might be tempted to take allergy or cold medicine, but that may not be the proper treatment.
If you’re asking yourself questions like why does my throat feel tight when I lay down or why does my throat feel tight when I swallow, and the answer doesn’t point to a cold or allergies, you may be having a side effect of a gastrointestinal issue.
Call your doctor if the tightness in your throat doesn’t go away or comes with symptoms like:
That sore throat you thought was a cold may be an altogether different problem – one for a gastroenterologist.
If you are struggling with your throat feeling tight, don’t wait – schedule an appointment today.

Im sorry that your feeling that way; i can surely empathize with you; I'm facing the same problem except mines comes and goes without warning; & can last anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours & like you it can be a little alarming, but what i dont have either is the racing of the ❤ im no Dr. & cant give you any medical advice: but as a suggestion go through the process of elimination: foods allergies, diet, life style like smoking; certain medication, what were you doing prior before the episodes come: tight clothing can cause shortness of breath; once you eliminate what its not you can narrow it down down by finding you a goid bed side manner Dr. Good luck

I have the same thing. I describe it as if someone is putting their thumb in that little indentation on throat. Makes me cough, gasp...for air. I also have had a chronic cough for 10 months. Been to Family Dr, Pulmonologist, ENT and Gastro and No one has any diagnosis or can find anything. Like Im making this sh*t up. Actually had a Dr suggest that I am coughing out of habit now. Im at my wits end.
