My throat
It feels like someone is trying to choke me
Trouble with breathing? 
Hi
, and thanks for your post. I see our fellow community member, , has already responded to your comment and is trying to get some clarification. (thanks, Susan!).
My question would be the same. When you say you feel like someone is choking you, are you referring to your breathing? Are you having shortness of breath? Difficulty breathing in and/or out?
Are you able to explain this a little bit further?
Wishing you well,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)Good evening Leon. I hope this person found some help. Hope all is well with you. Blessings as always, Susan 
That's what we all do -- guide. But there is a lot to be said for having experience or simple compassion for one another. It's worth a lot! 😀 I echo Leon, glad you're here with us! -Melissa, copd.net team I appreciate that Melissa 😊
Hi there, I am hoping your feeling of being choked is easing now, I am not a Doctor or medical professional, I am a community member so I can’t give out advice like one. But I was wondering if it could be a panic attack a bad one. My reason being only from my point of view is a panic attack, they can affect you terribly if it was your chest that also felt very tight I would consider you ring for emergency services. But what makes my think of a panic attack is like me once had to try and clam down even though it is hard to do and breathe more slowly and try to take your mind of the tightness around your neck and take your blue inhaler if you have one and calm your breathing down close your eyes and continue to focus on your breathing and hopefully if it is a panic attack will subside slowly. Please let us know if you can how you are getting on but please remember this is me when I had a feeling of choking and can be different for other people. Hope this terrible feeling subsides and you feel calmer.Panic attacks can make you feel you are choking.Take Care,X
