Hi there! I do get something similar but not quite the same. I feel like maybe I'm not getting enough air and feel the need to yawn.... This is always worse when I am emotionally worked up or anxious. This often leads to belching, then more yawning... Seriously... Sorry you're having this. The throat sensations sound unpleasant. Usually what I try to do is make myself take 10
Solid breaths from my tummy of like an inhalation of 5 and exhale of 7 or 8. You can do whatever is comfortable but the important part is the exhale being longer than the inhale. Based off what you're describing it would seem that drinking water might alleviate the sensation... You've probably already tried that tho?
