Hello all, I'm sad to say that recently my anxiety has once again taken a turn for the worse. I should explain that I am 15 years old and male.
I had an incident a couple of months back where I was certain that food was stuck in my throat, this lead to a major panic attack. A few weeks after this solid food was becoming more and more difficult to eat. Which is where I am at now.I have had a barium swallow come back clear and a camera that they put up my nose, this also came back clear. But I can't for the life of me eat solid food. It feels as if it scratches and sticks in my throat, no matter what I do.
Now, I'm 5 feet 9 inches, and weigh around 6 stone. Which for my age is worrying, considering that I cant eat solids at all at the moment. My diet currently consists of: Soup, Ensure Shakes, Milkshakes, Chocolate, Small Amounts of toast, Small Amounts of cereal. Also I recently started taking medication for my anxiety, but at a really low dosage.
Just wondering if anybody has any useful info. Currently I seem to be getting panic attacks by the hour and just cant stop worrying that I will end up being tube fed in hospital (One of my biggest fears).
