I’ve seen some posts that talk about throat tightness in situations. I also have heard of the globus thing (but this doesn’t feel like something completely solid in my throat). Sometimes it does feel better if I swallow, but it still feels partially closed soon after. I can breathe perfectly fine (I think), but I also wonder if my brain is subconsciously keeping my throat muscles open so that I *can* breathe. 

I (20m) am in great physical condition, in college, and I haven’t been diagnosed with anxiety, but I definitely could be (stubborn self won’t go to the Dr.). 

In the past few weeks this has affected me so much that I have a hard time focusing in class because all I can think about is what if my throat is closing, and what if I just fall out on the floor during lecture while everyone is watching. 

Is this a common anxiety symptom? 

I keep thinking to myself that if I’ve made it a few weeks like this, then it most likely is just in my head, but I can’t get it out. 

I would also like to note that I don’t think about it if I am occupied. Completely occupied, at least. (ex. Playing guitar) 

Would appreciate any feedback at all!
