difficulty swallowing

[yellow]

I have recently been diagnosed as suffering from anxiety and stress after months of suffering from various not very nice symptoms, now in the last few days I have difficulty swallowing and feel as if Im chocking, nothing in particular brought this on and I am not particularly stressed or anything, I think Im going mad, I see from the panic attack symptoms this is listed on there, has anyone else experienced this[:I]

Hiya Yellow

Welcome to the site, great to have you here.

Glad you have had a chance to look round and see your symptom is on the list. I think its a very common one and yes, when I was at my most anxious i felt it too.
You definately arent alone on this one :)

take care
Love Sarah

Hiya Yellow,

Welcome to the site.

I also get the "can't swallow, feel like I'm choking" symptom.

It actually makes me heave and I feel like I will be sick.

Just another lovely anxiety symptom!

I get this too - its the worst symptom but harmless so try not to worry:)

Hi Yellow

Welcome to the site.

Feeling like you can't swallow is all too common. I still get it too and I also feel like I am going to choke sometimes.

There are some posts about this already, so take a look as they may help -
