Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol allergy tight throat

For about three months I have been having difficulties swallowing. I feel as if my throat has gotten too tight to allow the food to pass through it properly. I have the feeling that things got stuck in it. I went to 3 doctors and all attributed my symptoms to muscle spasms due to my dust allergy. Today I again experienced the feeling that there is something in my throat so I stuck my finger in it just to make sure that nothing is there. I felt quite a large bump on the back of my tounge.
So, 3 months after, i have some sense of a tight throat and a little bit of throat pain that seems to get a little stronger at night and gets better during the day. Also, i have a constant feeling of needing to clear my throat from phlegm and i have had a runny nose since i can remember. Apart from that i have
1) no fever
2) no bumps outside my throat
3) no feeling of a lump in my throat when swallowing
4) i don't spit blood
5) no feeling of dizziness or fatique
6) no hoarse voice.
Hello for a month and a half i have had constant saliva which builds up in throat and i have to bring it up to my mouth and swallow it and sometimes it gets thicker and then goes back to saliva.
This tight throat sensation is driving me bonkers!!!! It drives my anxiety up the wall as I am having trouble breathing all day due to it. I most likely have Hashimotos due to my HI ANTI-TPO with a slightly enlarged thryoid and I am currently taking Cytomel for my low T3.
I'm clearing my throat all day everyday due to phlegm getting stuck at a certain spot in my throat. Very close to where the thyroid is and I SWEAR there is a smell coming from back there when I cough.
I had MAJOR throat issues from anxiety. I developed food anxiety and couldn't eat as I though my throat was swelling. I do believe that many of the times there was nothing wrong, but sometimes I still could not breath.
It happened multiple times a day. I went to ER and doc for this many times, also for heart racing thinking I was having heart attack. They said nothing wrong but I was in so much pain that it was real.
Can smoking cigarettes (recently began), consuming alcohol, and frequent exposure to cold dry air cause a sore throat that includes difficulty swallowing, inflammation, swelling, pain, and dryness?
Don't seem to have a fever or other illness. The symptoms lasted for about a week and a half and did not respond to antibiotics.
I'm struggling to find a cause for these symptoms, thanks in advance.
In late October, I had an important soccer tournament where I played through my asthma by using my nebulizer. During that week, my chest was tight and it sometimes hurt to breathe. Now, in January, my asthma has died down but my chest is still tight. I can go on runs still but the middle of my chest above my sternum is constantly tight. In addition, my throat near the Adam's apple seems to have pressure and it helps to burp.
to get to my epi shot and benedryl -my reaction is unusual in that I get dizzy, my blood pressure crashes, and my throat and chest get really tight. -No rashes or redness...Today after getting stung, I was able to take 50 mg of benedryl within 5 minutes of being stung (followed up with another 50 mg 30 min later) and didn't have to do the shot. The chest and throat tightness wasn't as bad as usual and went away about an hour after taking the benedryl.
A year ago, after a very difficult and painful surgery which taxed my immune system, I suddenly suffered from a chronically tight throat with a feeling of suffocation at nighttime. I kept clearing my throat, hacking, coughing; I could feel spasming in my throat, difficulty breathing, and there was a constant feeling of something being stuck in there.
I drank only one cider, I can handle my alcohol very well, I didn t get drunk from it. About 2 hours after drinking it, I was overheating so much I needed to lie on the floor and had a really bad headache. I also felt ill when standing up. The next morning I woke up with a very sore throat, painful to swallow and yawn. I was also sick that day, the spewing gave a bit of relief but later on my stomach was more painful again and the headaches were still there.
Last night I had a terrifying experience. Now to preface, I traveled to Ireland- have drank Guinness for years. I'm 42 years old. Never had any issue with any alcohol or allergies (except to cat hair- but I would just have itchiness when around them). No food/ no medication allergies. Yesterday, after skipping lunch I had a fast food hamburger and coke (nothing new- had for years) for dinner on my way out for the night.
Past few days I also caught a cold , had a stuffy nose , sore throat . Past 2 days during the night I felt my throat feel tight , a bit more difficult then normal to swallow and take satisfying deep breathes . Tight throat might be apart of my allergic reaction , Im really worried and will head to the ER tmr morning .
i have been experiening tight throat for the past week. I suffer form generalized anxiety from time to time. I took a benedryl thinking it might be alergies but after i eat it tends to get worse. I don't have a problem eating or drinking.
Is this acid reflux? Or allergies?

It definitely sounds like you could have some type of allergy to alcohol! I have a friend who has very similar symptoms after drinking but his normally starts within about 6 hours of having a couple of drinks. Alcohol allergies at some level is surprisingly more common than most people think.
My advice, talk to your Dr. about it just to make sure its nothing more serious ie: liver issues.
Good luck!
