Weird pain in throat

I'm no expert on throats, but it could have something to do with your breathing and that you support (or tense up) your voice in the throat area. This is most commonly a problem for singers/musicians, but I think it can apply to non-singers too.

The thing is that you should be breathing from the bottom of your lungs and support your voice from the stomach/chest without tensing up your throat. Like, take a big yawn, and feel how your lungs are filled to the bottom and that the stomach goes out. The stomach needs to be taken out so you can fill your lungs to the bottom. If you laugh/cough you can feel the diaphragm pushing and it's this tissue around the lungs plus the support of the abdominal muscles you should be using. Think of first inhaling and expanding the stomach, after that should the upper back expand and at last the upper chest just below the neck, this should open up the torso and fill up your lungs completely. Then exhale by pushing with your stomach inwards and upwards so it pushes on the diaphragm which pushes down on the lungs like a tube of toothpaste. You shouldn't need to take this big of a breath all the time, but it's that principle you should be following to get good breathing and not relying on your throat muscles to press out whatever you have to say.

It's pretty good to learn proper breathing technique no matter who you are as you get more oxygen into your blood and it helps you to relax.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
