neck/throat(?) pressure

[[cw...]]

Hey everyone.

 

I jumped 21 days ago. So far I'm doing decent with the wd's; excessive sweating, trouble sleeping, occasional anxiety.

 

About 3-4 days ago, I started feeling pressure in my neck/throat area.

 

Not entirely sure if this is normal or not  - I've read a lot of 'back of the neck' pain and sore throat but nothing in terms of 'front neck' pressure.

It almost feels like someone is choking me and I'm having trouble breathing.

 

Thanks

This is a result of muscle tension, which is a typical symptom.  People typically describe it like having a lump in your throat.  I also have really bad neck stuff, both back and front.  Most of all in the sternocleidmastoids.  Part of these split down from the side to the  center area of the collarbone.  I think they are part of what creates the throat squeeze sensation.

During my taper there were many times I had the feeling that someone had their hands around my neck and was strangling me.  This in addition to the neck muscle tension - sides, back and pressure on the front.

Thanks, both of you.

 

Rebound anxiety is mild, mainly due to the neck pressure - read about muscle tension and people having issues with the back of their neck but I couldn't find anything regarding the front of the neck, so I was amping myself up a bit, causing unnecessary anxiety.

 

I've been able to deal with every other symptom I've had. This one has been the most annoying and bothersome for me thus far.

I have this as well. Difficulty swallowing and muscle tension around the neck.

 

I eat slower and take smaller bites. Fortunately breathing is fine.
