Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Throat pain before crying is a common phenomenon and can be caused by a variety of different factors. It is thought to be an emotional response related to the physical nature of tears.

In many cases, when someone experiences intense emotions--either positive or negative--they may feel a certain tightness in their throat as they start to cry. This tightening sensation may seem like physical pain, but it's actually stemming from the emotion itself. Because tears come out through small ducts located in your eyes, extreme emotions can cause these tiny muscles around the eyes to contract and cause that "throat pain."

The feeling might also be intensified due to people unconsciously tensing up their jaw muscles during an emotional experience, leading to not only throat tension but headaches as well as general discomfort throughout the upper body. This body-wide reaction helps give strength to our emotional responses because it builds up energy within us that we then release in some form (like through tears).

It's important for anyone who finds themselves often experiencing this throat pain before crying that they take the time needed for self-care and practice deep breathing exercises or relaxation techniques so they can better process their emotions both mentally and physically without any additional discomfort or distress.
