Hi. I'm a 30 year old female that has been having anxiety attacks since 2005. Back when they 1st started I recall having a feeling of food "stuck" in my throat, but, as my anxiety decreased, it went away. Although I have had anxiety attacks since then, the one's I've been having for about a week & a half is the worst I've experienced. I have a lot of stress on me lately, & I can't seem to get it under control. I worry about EVERYTHING! I take 5mg valium for my nerves, but that is it....However, for nearly a week I have noticed that everytime I eat, immediately afterwards, it feels as if it's stuck in my throat. It seems to take at least 3 hrs or longer for the feeling to go away in my throat, but then it begins to hurt under my breast, in the middle. I also have small sharp pains every once in awhile in my stomach & it makes rumbling sounds as well. I also feel bloated. I'm also slightly gassy, but I never have a heartburn feeling... I noticed when I take a valium after I eat it helps relax the muscles in my throat, & that feeling that food is "stuck" there isn't as bad. I've tried Zantac 150, Prilosec OTC, & Gas-X. However, nothing helps as much as the valium does...Let me add, in the mornings right after I wake up is when my throat/stomach feels completely normal. It isn't until I eat that it feels that way...and it doesn't do that with anything liquid...My sister has IBS, & she told me that's how her's started & I need to tell my Dr. that I need protonics. I'm not sure if it's IBS, or stress related, because I was perfectly fine before I was so stressed out! Has anyone else experienced this? (Also PLEASE keep in mind that I get scared VERY VERY easily about anything medical related, so please try your best to not scare me, I don't need another panic attack! :)) Thank you for your time, & looking forward to hearing your replies!
