<s>[INST] Hi can i have done alot of research and it seems like i have cricopharyngeal spasms but can cricopharyngeal spasms cause difficulty brathing? When i wake up everything is perfect, as the day goes on i have feeling of a tightness airway as if something is bothering me in my throat below adams apple but i have no problem swallowing or eating as a matter of fact eating makes it temporarily better . But at times it feels like i cant complete my breath. [/INST] Thank you for consulting Chat Doctor I'm Sorry to hear about the problem which is bothering your daily routines. The symptoms you describe can be due to cricopharyngeal spasm. I would like to know whether you have difficulty in swallowing saliva ? If it is there it points towards the same diagnosis. Cricopharyngeal spasms doesn't generally cause difficulty in breathing. Please consult an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT specialist) and get yourself examined for a definite diagnosis as a physical examination is mandatory in your case. Thank you. Please revert with further queries and details. </s>
