Greetings,
I'm 20 and have suffered from health anxiety for a while now. Lately i've been having a tender scalp and difficulty swallowing. Feels like im going to Choke or something. When i touch the bottom of my neck muscles they also feel weird. Hope i dont have epiglottis or any of those scary things.
Can any of u relate?

Yes this is caused by stress. When the body is in deep stress our body gets all messed up. It sucks

No problem. I know what you mean. It can be scary.

I know this is part of my anxiety but is it normal to be able to see your epiglottis ? whenever i stick my tongue far out im able to kind of see it /: freaks me even more out (and im not talking about the uvula)

If you stick it out far enough, you will see it. It's a strange looking apparatus
