Why does my throat feel constricted or tight?

Answer:
This usually happens to me when I'm about to get a severe cold or fever. So be careful with what you eat. Go to your family doctor if it gets any worse.

You could be having an allergic reaction. Seeing Dr. is a good idea.

You might be dehydrated drink some ice water if that doesn't help gargle with salt and an aspirin.

Maybe something you ate that is not agreeing, you know an allergic reaction. Take some benadryl, if you can, if that does not help quickly, call the doctor. Go to the emergency room if it you need to. It could also be anxiety, a doctor can only help you for sure!

How long have you had this problem? If it's been a month or more I would think allergies.
Do you have a fever?Foul smelly breath? It could be strep throat.
If this is a sudden occurrence you should probably see your doctor. Try to gargle with salt and warm water. Good luck to you.
