What Causes Tightness In Throat And Lightheadedness?
occasionally when I swallow food or drink I get a tightness in my throat and then cant swallow anymore until I belch. These episodes usually last 2-4 minutes and are a little frightening because I cant talk, my mouth waters and it makes me lightheaded. It feels like a vapor lock .

It is not known that from how many days or months this is happening to you. If you had a habit of smoking, tobacco consumption in any form, alcohol consumption, long standing acidity in stomach or acidity reflux in your esophagus you should immediately visit your doctor and get your esophageal endoscopy done. Ultrasonography is also advised. This problem can be due to any growth in pharynx, larynx or esophagus.
