Hello, I have been having some strange
symptoms over the last 3 months and they
are gradually getting annoying. I have
found my self swallowing constantly
throughout the day. This swallowing isn't
just for food purposes but I seem to be
trying to swallow some foreign object in
my throat. At times it feels like saliva
is trying to get into my windpipe where as
at other times the discomfort feels like
it is my epiglottis. It has me concerned
because by the time I go to bed at night
my neck hurts from all the swallowing. I
am 22, and I want to rule out my age,
along with other things before I go to the
doctor.
I know I need to go in to have an
endoscopy from a specialist but I just
wanted to find out if anyone else has
experienced this before, and if so what
was the outcome.

Check out the anxiety and stress forum.
The symptoms you describe are common. Do
you have any other feelings of stress --
jitteriness, tingling of hand/feet,
worrying a lot, muscle pain in random
parts of your body?
Could also be acid reflux or post nasal
drip -- that's what my ent thought when I
brought these problems to him this summer.
