Hi everyone
I have been suffering with health related anxiety for about 6 months now and after treatment (plus numerous tests for a constant headache) my symptoms have finally started to calm down. However, I am now conscious of a problem when swallowing large pieces of food (bread/meat etc). It feels like the food gets stuck for a second at the bottom of the oesphagus before hitting the stomach. I do get a heartburn and the occasional acidic feel. A friend died of oesphagul cancer a few months ago and like me he was only in his mid 30's.
Could it be the anxiety playing tricks again?
Many thanks
