I have had severe anxiety for about 6
years now. I'm 19 years old and i'm
getting worse everyday.
Within the past two years I've been having
throat issues, where it feels as if there
is a lump in my throat, also sometimes
when I'm eating, when i swallow.. the food
goes to the back of my throat and sits
there, It doesnt go down it takes me 2 or
3 swallows to get it to go down and a
sence of panic comes over me and I can't
finish eating. It's almost as if my brain
forgot how to swallow.
Also, I belch A LOT. Expecially after
eating. I don't know why or if it's
related to the anxiety... (maybe i'm
nervously / without knowing taking in to
much air when I eat because I'm to
consentrated on my swallowing )
I have an appointment with the Gastro.
doctor, if he can't find anything wrong I
guess I can feel better that it's only
anxiety... it's just scary because I feel
like one day I'm gonna start choking.. and
my swallow reflex just won't work.
I stopped taking my medication about a
year ago, and I just noticed i've been
getting worse... I was on xanax.. any
thoughts / comments/ advice to the get rid
of these symtoms / is appreciated.
