Well...some people when they eat shell fish (shrimp, etc...it's high in iodine)...they are allergic to it and it causes a reaction and the throat tightens down...it can be very serious...some do this with nuts...seriously allergic to them (people have died from it)...you should have it checked out. Good luck.
