Hey! Hru? Today was awful for me...I suspect I suffer from anxiety, as all tests I've done came out negative. At first, I started to feel that lump at the base of my throat, right in front of my trachea , under the skin....it was choking me really bad and ,as usual, it's not visible to the eye. I noticed that lying down in my bed, face down, with no pillow under my head, made me feel better.I tried to get some sleep, but these thoughts that something bad is going to happen to me won't let me sleep.After 4 hours of lump in throat, I noticed it was slowly moving down...step by step, it went to the middle of my chest...next moment I started worrying about heart attacks.Lying down in my bed and relaxing, with my eyes closed, helped me again...but as soon as I get up and start becoming active again,the sensation of heavy chest comes back...along with shortness of breath and cold hands.There are 3 more tests I need to do: thyroid scan, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux) and throat investigation. All I need from you is some reassurance that this is normal with anxiety and stress...all of you who experience what I'm experiencing are invited to share their thoughts. Thank you! I wish you best of luck and health!

the key is focus on something else... go hang out with people that make you happy... go to the movies or whatever you like to do.. if your busy on something else your mind isnt busy on anxiety
