Pressure in chest and around throat

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to the dr to get this checked out but just wanted to ask everyone - Does anyone ever get a feeling of pressure in their chest and around the throat? I get intermittent achy-like sore throats as well. Just was wondering if this is part of fibro or something else to now be worried about.

Thanks!

couchtater - I know that swollen gland achy feeling from when I've been sick and this is something so different that I can't even explain where the discomfort is coming from. It's so strange!

I don't know if you'd call it 'pressure,' exactly, but on very humid days like today I get a tighter feeling in my chest. It seems I'm a shallow breather, so maybe that could explain it(?)

Last Fall I had much pressure in my throat area (just to the right of the throat, actually) and wondered what that was about.

The doctor who checked it said it was likely due to fluid that was (sort of) connecting to the ear area, probably due to a past minor infection. In other words, it was my ear and not so much my throat---it just happened to affect my throat area. I didn't need to do anything for it and as he predicted, it gradually went away.

I can sometimes get those odd little sore throats, also. I make sure I have as little sugar as possible, as that often seems to be a culprit in 'stuff' like this that comes from who-knows-where. I drink lots of water, too.

Hope you get some answers and that's a good idea to get odd things like this checked out. Have a great day! :) Also, I see you're fairly new here. Welcome!!

HI there I am a newbie

I hope this post finds you all well.
I hope you got your issue sorted with the doctor. I sounds like something maybe to do with your thyroid, as we all probably know, are friend fibromyalgia is an autoimmune condition, and when we have one friend, may others (autoimmune conditions), like to join the party. You may have a thyroid issue to join the family

I had that. I had the reflux surgery back in 2009 and it stopped.
