What Could Cause Throat Tightness?

I have tightness in the throat (as if my tie is too tight) and indigestion like symptoms in the upper stomach and upper chest. It feels like I need to belch. It has been going on for over a week now. I am 56, 5 foot 9 and weigh about 180. I have a largely vegan diet, drink fresh vegetable juice twice a day, but have taken to eating some dairy products recently. I take crestor 40 mg, metrprolol, and asprine daily, as well as flax seed oil, multivitamines, and 8000 iu of vitamin B3 daily. Any insights would be appreciated. regards,

It might be due to some sort of infection nothing else. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably azithral or moxikind-cv after an expert advice along with diominic-dca or wikoryl for pain and congestion. You can take syrup asthakind or bro-zedex for soothing of your throat. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the congestion and tightness in the throat.
