Constricted throat?

____________________

Sometimes your throat will close up because of a mild irritant in the air. A more severe reaction is called anaphylaxis, and it happens when exposed to an allergen (a substance you are allergic to). Anaphylaxis can cause several symptoms including rashes, and it can cause constriction of the throat. Anaphylaxis can be a serious and even life-threatening reaction. The link lists some of the more common things that some people are allergic to.

Some people have a constriction reaction to chocolate and other products containing caffeine.
