Hi can i have done alot of research and it seems like i have cricopharyngeal spasms but can cricopharyngeal spasms cause difficulty brathing? When i wake up everything is perfect, as the day goes on i have feeling of a tightness airway as if something is bothering me in my throat below adams apple but i have no problem swallowing or eating as a matter of fact eating makes it temporarily better . But at times it feels like i cant complete my breath.
Thank you for consulting Chat Doctor I'm Sorry to hear about the problem which is bothering your daily routines. The symptoms you describe can be due to cricopharyngeal spasm. I would like to know whether you have difficulty in swallowing saliva ? If it is there it points towards the same diagnosis. Cricopharyngeal spasms doesn't generally cause difficulty in breathing. Please consult an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT specialist) and get yourself examined for a definite diagnosis as a physical examination is mandatory in your case. Thank you. Please revert with further queries and details.
