Tension

[redbird]

If I could figure out what's stressing me, I could probably do something to relieve the problem.

It's oddly specific: when I walk into the kitchen, my throat tightens. This is the third evening in a row that I've had this problem. Daytime seems to be all right.

See if you can catch the exact moment when your throat tightens--there might be something informative there.

Did anything unpleasant ever happen associated with a kitchen, or food, or perhaps one specific detail such as the color of the tile?

Check lightbulbs.

Considering your sensitivity to flashing lights, you might be having a subtle reaction to flicker. This happens to me all the [obscenity] time. Check windows, too.

I'd third the suggestion to check the lights, particularly if it only happens after dark. Also is there any annoying light source outside your kitchen window?

How clean and tidy -- or not -- is the kitchen? Have you used any possibly noxious cleaning chemicals recently?

I'm wondering about mould and mildew myself -- I know I find it hard to breathe around them, and the little buggers can hide in hard-to-get-at places.
