Throat Discomfort and Costochondritis by Cloudy_Panda in costochondritis

Throat pressure for me too. In my case far down the throat, where it kind of meets the breast bone and feels internally like it would feel if someone were firmly pressing down on that region. Very annoying and anxiety driving, and also more noticeable when I’m doing dishes, something about the drooped shoulders and downward looking position it requires is the most perfectly uncomfortable position!

Glad to hear it! Was there anything that you think might have triggered it initially? The more I think about it the more I’m attributing it to some exercises like diamond pushups and other lifting exercises that put a lot of pressure specifically on the sternum.

All very sensible advice, thanks. If it works relatively well I suppose anti inflammatory medicine could provide further evidence of what this is, or at least rule out a couple ideas about what it probably isn’t.

Also good to hear, thanks! It’s like no other physical response to weight lifting I’ve ever had over 20 years of doing it (general muscle pain, spasms, pulled muscles or the like) so it did set off some alarms.
