Is this part of anxiety or is there something else wrong

I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and its really starting to annoy me but now I find occasionally I have trouble swallowing, but I know I can if I drink water but this is really scaring me.

it doesn't matter if I am eating or not eaten it just happens and I panic real bad!!! It feels like my throat has a spasm

I really feel like I am starting to go crazy now

Hello Greyhorse,

Whatever symptoms you feel or experience you should always see a GP to talk about them. That swallowing thing sounds very uncomfortable, and certainly if it is not a symptom of Anxiety it may very well be a cause.

I feel tightening in my chest and tubes, with an inability to breathe deeply when I am Anxious, so perhaps you are experiencing a symptom. Nonetheless, go see your doctor.

Dear Greyhorse,

Does anything else bunch up and tighten as well as your throat ? Sometimes we gt these behaviours as tics but the problem is that without seeing a specialist you can't really be too sure it will go away or get worse.

Sounds more serious than biting nails and scratching your bum.

Adios, David.

Hi,

Well to start off, go and see your GP just to get yourself checked out physically.

But just to let you know i have experienced similar symptoms. I felt like something was at the back of my throat and i had to keep swallowing to get it down but i felt like i couldnt swallow properly. it was definitely a scary situation i found myself in. i ended up going to the GP and she pretty much told me it was stress.

Hope this helps!

Kari

Hi greyhorse.
I sometimes get this issue where I can't swallow as well. I have to sip water to be able to swallow when this happens. It is scary I know.
Your not alone. I am struggling with bad anxiety that is ruining and taking over my life.
