MelissaCrystal Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was just wondering if anyone experiences a feeling of being strangled as one of their symptoms. It's one of my most horrible symptoms because it sort of gets in the way of me breathing and feeling like I have enough blood in my head. My BP is fine during these episodes (90 over 70). It's worse when I'm working against gravity (like standing up). Anyone? I wish I could stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4cem Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've described it as feeling like a tight turtleneck or if I am wearing a hooded sweatshirt that someone has tightened the strings. I get it every now and then, but it feels like the pressure is building in my head and it will pop like a baloon.Sorry, I don't have any suggestions other than to try to relax and ride it through.

Guest Sandy Sims Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 This one I've had allmy life--but it used to be fleeting and a rare thing. Now it's constant. yep itstinks!Thanks for posting this one tho--I've often wondered how to explain the feeling todocs in under 100 words. You did it perfectly!XOXOXoxoSandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaCrystal Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 So it sounds like it's pretty typical! That's really interesting. I wonder what caused it since my BP was okay. That's sooo weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
