That is definitely an alarming symptom that shouldn't be taken lightly. I'm glad you brought this up.
so first things first, before you noogle again, PLEASE GO TO THE DOCTOR IF YOU CAN if you haven't already to see what that's all about. Just in case, not to alarm you or anything. But that sounds serious. it may be a little embarrassing, but you may need to tell him/her about the noogling you've been doing. you could have a health issue that negatively competes with noogling.
I've never experienced "tight throat", but I have experienced, as many other nooglers have, numbness of the arm during/after sessions.
I think both our problems could be attributable to a lack of circulation while pumping. After all, when we apply pressure from suction, no matter how gentle, we are in essence cutting off a little blood supply in the area from the rest of the body, probably.
I have some questions for you --how long are you pumping during one session? how much suction/pressure are you applying while pumping? is it a lot, or a little? do you take breaks, or do you noogle every day? are you utilizing the pump and hold or pump and release method? (pump and hold meaning you'd pump for an hour straight without ever releasing pressure, pump and release meaning you'd pump and hold for, say, 7 minutes, then release it and eliminate pressure for 2 minutes, then repeat that until your hour-session is complete.) How soon do you experience the "closed throat" symptom when pumping? is it 5 minutes in or 30 minutes in, etc?
Just my 2 cents:
With regard to pump and hold vs. pump and release methods, I'd ALWAYS suggest pump and release, if you aren't doing that already. I know different things work for different people, and everyone doesn't experience issues with pump and hold, but, theoretically, I don't think it's natural to cut circulation like that for an hour straight or even 30 min straight. If that doesn't present problems now, it will highly likely present problems later.
Also, just my personal opinion, but I'd suggest only noogling every other day to give your body ample breaks, if that's not what you're doing already. And I'd also suggest no more than 30 minutes every other day of noogling. I know it's not a lot, but sometimes, slow and steady wins the race and longer sessions may damage you. When doing the 30 minute sessions, I would suggest pumping five minutes, releasing for 2, and so on and so forth.
finally, EAT FOODS THAT WILL AID IN BLOOD CIRCULATION: beets, cucumbers, oats, radishes, to name a few. and plenty of water. not sure if you were doing it already, but sometimes we don't give our body the proper nutrients it needs to undergo something like suction therapy.
Again, these are just my suggestions. I am by no means a noogleberry expert (disclaimer) and I'm not sure what works for you. But your "closed throat" issue concerns me and it could be a sign that you should cut noogling out altogether. BUT PLEASE SEE THE DOC BEFORE CONTINUING! seriously. I think the noogleberry can be an effective tool, but only when used safely. And safe-usage starts with making sure your health is ok FIRST.
much love,
Reyn.
