Hi Halls,
I had to take diflucan once and ended up with hives for 3 weeks.
Zyrtec (an antihistamine) gives me throat and tongue swelling
Aspirin causes a blistery type rash.
I could go on & on, but it's mostly prescribed drugs that cause my problems, with either hives/rashes of some sort, or oral symptoms like swelling, blisters, etc.
The point is many drugs, whether OTC or prescribed can cause allergic reactions and drug sensitivities.
Oral swelling and throat closing can be serious symptoms of an allergic reaction so I would make note of all these drugs that bother you and the exact reaction they cause to take with you to the doctor.
Anxiety can cause a feeling of a lump in your throat, chest pains, etc. but it's always best to get these things checked out.
