Pressure on chest and feeling of swallowing air!?

[panicperson]

Hi all,
Is this an anxiety feeling.....
I feel like someone is putting pressure on my chest and I feel like my throat/chest feels like I've swallowed lots of air!? (Sounds strange.)
I find it occasionally difficult to swallow but not painful.
This therefore creates a feeling of not being able to breathe properly!?
Advice/help/opinions xx

Omg this is exactly now I'm feeling right now, and I'm constantly taking deep breaths to try get a satisfying breath and yawning deep. I know exactly what you mean about the swallowing thing

It's so bad, and I'm really panicy about it at the moment. I had all my status done Thursday and everything was fine, oxygen/pulse/bp and lungs etc, its so crap xx

Thanks guys!
I thought so, but it's horrid so wanted to ensure I wasn't the only one!!
I could only describe it as swallowing air lol.
My mother said she got it once (lucky her) when stressed. So thought that it could be that considering I'm stressed 24/7 x

Are you able to do anything about any of the things which are stressing you?

Distraction for my health worries as I work. But I'm naturally a worrier!
How about u, tips?
I find it hard to distract at weekends and evenings x

yeah i do at times, I rang up the 111 because its really doing my head in now and they told me to go to the nearest A&E department in the next hour! safe to say im abit worked up now! im trying to calm myself down and relax. I feel so sore in the ribs more so than my chest. Im going to go up i think on their advice.
Kinda think i should of tried one of my diazepam see if that help atall x
