Swollen Glands, Plugged Ears, Post Nasal Drips With Pain In Throat Going To Collarbone. Have Shortness Of Breath, On And Off Sore Throat. Help
Hi,
I've been experiencing shortness of breath, like a constriction in my throat, for about a month now as well as an intermittent sore throat. Today my glands feel swollen, my ears feel plugged and i have a bit of post nasal drip starting. My throat also hurts and radiates down into the left side of my collarbone. Any help you could provide would be great. Thanks!

Hi there! Welcome to H.C.M. Forum!
U say that it has been a month since the first symptom. Have u taken any medication for the symptoms? There may be many reasons for a throat constriction, most common of which are acid reflux,smoking, globus, stress, tiredness etc. I would suggest that you get an ENT examination done. They will assess you and then let you know if any tests like Barium swallow or endoscopy need to be done. This is a very common problem and more often than not, it is usually stress induced.
Take care!
