Feeling like I can't swallow...

[str8trippin]

I've been feeling great all day and now I'm sitting here watching TV and feeling for the last little while like I'm having a hard time swallowing. Obviously, I'm still breathing, my throat just feels uncomfortable, if that makes sense. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Hi again :) I have experienced this.. Just like many of the other health anxieties I have/have had .. And then I get hyper focused on my swallowing.. Grrr..

I used to imagine all kinds of terrible reasons for why I couldn't swallow .. Smh..

Anxiety makes us feel like so many things are happening to us.. It's amazing..

Incidentally I am feeling a lot better these days bc of Zoloft.. But still just before as I too, was watching TV.. I got a strange sensation in my throat, almost chest.. And I freaked out for a few minutes bc I feared it was a heart attack.. Smh. Whewww..

I get tired of this...I'm just working on getting through ONE day with out anything that pops up to try and haunt me! I thought today might be the day. Anxiety is such a trickster!

Had swallowing problems before anxiety, but yes this too I've gotten. And my throat will close up sometimes when I'm having a bad time with it.

I do it mainly at night, but I have sinus drainage and sometimes it does feel like I cant swallow.

Yeah, it seems like gotta try and concentrate like three times to get a good swallow
