This has been going on for about three months and I’m guessing it’s MS related but would like to know if anyone else gets this sensation. As soon as I lie down, it genuinely feels as though the sides of my throat are falling in towards each other. When I first experienced this, if I lay on my right side it would go away but now there doesn’t seem to be any way of relieving it other than being upright.
I have really felt panicky with it a couple of times, it’s horrible. If anyone has any suggestions how to alleviate this I’d really appreciate hearing them.
Hi Tru, this does happen to me too. I sleep half sittting up. Easy to do with my profiling bed. Not so easy when in the campervan…pillows dont stay where I want em. Don`t know any other solution hun.
Hi, this has happened to me, I sometimes get it when I’m just sat, not a very nice feeling, when I get it I also get a tight feeling right in the middle of my chest, it’s not easy not to panic, I just try my best to relaxed, I’ve had all the tests, heart, camera down, and even camera up my nose to check out ears, nose and throat, all clear, so they are putting my down to MS where the muscle’s are just going into spasm, I would see my GP or nurse if you have one just to make sure, take care, Jean
Hi Jean, I get the chest feeling too and it takes all my energy not to go into panic mode. Trying to think of other things to distract myself or literally getting up and walking round is what I’ve done so far. Thanks for your response.
