So had COVID in September got over it then got walking phenomia got over that but had sob now I had COVID again at Christmas very light case just headache and mild congestion, starting last week I keep having a feeling of my throat tightening up it's a strange feeling like right before you cry the choked up feeling in your throat and kind like when you have a bad anxiety attack. Also like a stuffy nose feeling making me have to mouth breathe went to the doc got two steroid shots and a zpac azithromycin 5 days it's been 3 days and no change today's actually been horrible it's real bad when I'm up moving around but sitting watching TV it's not to bad so scared I'm dying anyone else have this problem

It might help to do some research on the parasympathetic nervous system and how it is affected by anxiety. Don’t google for diseases or such, just learn how this system affects us when we have anxiety. It will be quite an eye opener. Anxiety causes this system to over react and make our involuntary muscles constrict. I suffered the tight, clenched involuntary muscles, including my throat. During a routine endoscope procedure, the doc discovered how tight it was and stretched it. But since I’ve been practicing acceptance, my muscles have relaxed a huge amount, including my throat. I used to have an extreme amount of pain there, but now it’s gone. I highly recommend you researchDr Claire Weekes and her acceptance method for anxiety recovery. It works.

Had a ct of the throat and everything looked fine so they still don't know why I feel like I'm strangling and can't breathe right all they say is anxiety

What if it is anxiety? Are you doing anything to treat your anxiety? It could certainly be the cause of your symptom. Maybe try to work on the anxiety and see if it helps.

I get this feeling when I’m having an anxiety attack.
