What is Irritable Larynx Syndrome and Why Does My Throat Feel Weird?
Irritable Larynx Syndrome (ILS) is a condition where your throat feels tight, irritated, or like it’s closing — even when your breathing is normal. You may also ask, “Why does my throat burn?” or “Why does my throat feel weird?” These sensations can be alarming and disruptive to daily life. ILS can result from a variety of triggers, such as stress, acid reflux, environmental irritants, or vocal strain.
Understanding what causes irritable larynx syndrome is the first step toward relief. At Idaho Face & Voice, our speech therapy specializes in identifying your unique triggers and delivering effective, personalized solutions.
Does Your Throat Feel Like It's Closing But You Can Breathe Fine?
If you've ever thought, "My throat feels like it’s closing but I can breathe fine," you’re not alone. This is a hallmark symptom of irritable larynx syndrome. Although the airway remains open, the muscles of the larynx can become overly reactive, creating a false sense of obstruction. We help patients understand and manage this distressing experience through evidence-based therapies and supportive care.
